Paramaribo – President ChandrikaPersad Santokhi, together with the First Lady Mellisa Santokhi-Seenachherry, ministers and the chairman of the decoration committee, Jack Uden, honored women with a honorary medal and certificate of appreciation on the occasion of International Women’s Day, which is celebrated annually on 8 March. The meeting was held on Saturday in the congress hall.
In the context of fifty years of political independence of Suriname, special attention is paid to gender equality and the role of women in society. The Advisory Committee and the Decoration Committee have carefully assessed all lectures and contributed their advice to the granting of the honorary medals, as recognition for the valuable work and the lasting impact of these women.
“It is important to not only honor women from the city, but also the many hard -working mothers and women in the interior”
“Today we consider the women who have worked in an exceptional way for country and people, in social, economic, cultural and political. Their contribution has not only influenced their immediate environment, but also on the broader development of our society, “is a passage from the press release of CDS.
“It’s great that this recognition has taken place and hopefully it can get even bigger next time. It is important to not only honor women from the city, but also the many hard -working mothers and women in the interior. They also deserve recognition. Nobody should feel disadvantaged or inferior. All mothers have, so to speak, a prize in heaven and certainly experience warmth here in Suriname. ” For example, Anita Moera-Awalie spoke who received a honorary medal in connection with International Women’s Day.
