In line with International Women’s Day, which falls on March 8, the Ministry of Women and Child Affairs has declared a National Women’s Week to commemorate this significant occasion.
The National Theme for this year’s Women’s Day is: “Strong she will be a pathway to build a sustainable future.” From March 2 to March 8, a series of nationwide programs will be implemented, focusing on women’s health, awareness, safety, empowerment, and the enhancement of their technological skills to support their overall development.
To empower women entrepreneurs and create a marketplace for their products, the “Liya Shakthi” Women’s Fair will be held on March 5 and 6 at Viharamahadevi Park, Colombo. All arrangements have been made to ensure the success of this event.
This year’s Women’s Day Celebration will be conducted under the guidance of the Minister of Women and Child Affairs, Saroja Savithri Paulraj, and the Deputy Minister, Dr. Namal Sudarshana, under the patronage of the Prime Minister, Harini Amarasuriya.
