The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) has recognised the invaluable contributions of women and has joined the global community in celebrating the meaningful impact they make on society.
Marking International Women’s Day 2025 under the theme “Accelerate Action,” the ERC stated that this annual celebration serves as a powerful reminder of the essential role women play in shaping a society rooted in inclusion, peace, and respect.
It added that women have long been pioneers of cohesion and unity in Guyana.
“As leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and caregivers, their resilience, vision, and unwavering dedication continue to drive national progress and social harmony.”
The Commission acknowledges the significant role of women in Guyana’s socio-economic advancement across all ethnic groups and sectors of society.
The ERC firmly believes that fostering an environment where women’s potential can fully flourish is essential for building a sustainable future and a just society.
As advocates for change, the Commission urges all stakeholders to actively support this year’s theme by removing barriers and dismantling biases that hinder women’s progress.
“Today, the ERC honours and celebrates all women whose remarkable efforts continue to propel the development of our country. Their exemplary leadership, resilience, and contributions serve as a beacon of inspiration, reaffirming the power of women when they are supported, empowered, and valued.”
The Commission encourages women of all ages to continue pursuing their dreams, enhancing their personal skills, and striving for academic excellence so that Guyana’s development can be equally shaped by their resourcefulness.
