Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>\u201cInternational Women\u2019s Day (IWD) is observed yearly on March 8 across the world. It is an opportunity not only to celebrate women\u2019s achievements but to also continue raising awareness to the challenges women face. In order to do that we must do more to understand the facets of a woman\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Seychellois woman who went from house to house with heavy loads of washing on her head years ago is no different from the woman putting in the long hours at the office today to ensure that her family is fed, clothed and healthy.<\/p>\n

Time has not changed who we are at the most basic of levels \u2013 carers and nurturers \u2013 and this is irrespective of whether we have children or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe woman is an incredible creature \u2013 one filled with strength, resourcefulness, resilience and self-sacrifice for the betterment of those that she cares for and the world she inhabits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year on International Women\u2019s Day, the United Nations\u2019 (UN) call is for \u2018Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow\u2019. As the Citizens Engagement Platform Seychelles (Ceps), we ask that the country give thought to the tomorrow that we want to create. The woman leads the way in many instances. She is one of the major players in forming tomorrow\u2019s Seychellois society as mothers, grandmothers, sisters, friends, teachers, doctors, politicians, etc.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to proclaim that Seychelles is a predominantly matriarchal society with strong women leading the way yet how do we explain that chauvinism towards women remains strong in many workplaces and in society at large?<\/p>\n

How do we explain that some employers still hold motherhood against women as if it is a liability for their businesses?<\/p>\n

\u201cOur country needs to do better, rather than punishing women, perhaps even looking at employment laws to better empower women to fulfill their familial and work duties.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to see that sustainable tomorrow become a reality, we must realise that women must be afforded the same opportunities that men are afforded, without the bias.<\/p>\n

\u201cCeps wishes all women everywhere, a Happy International Women\u2019s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n
