The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) proudly joins the global community in celebrating International Women’s Day 2025 under the theme: “Accelerate Action.”
This day serves as a
powerful reminder of the invaluable contributions of women in shaping a society rooted in inclusion, peace, and respect. 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 recognizes the indelible role of women in Guyana’s socio-economic
advancement across all ethnic groups within each sector of society. The ERC firmly believes that creating an environment wherein women’s potential can fully blossom is essential for building a
sustainable future and 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 to pursue their dreams, enhance personal skills, and strive for academic excellence, so that Guyana’s development can be equally
impacted by their resourcefulness.
Happy International Women’s Day!
