Addressing the Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) International Women’s Day Brunch and Awards at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston on Sunday (March 9), she said it is important that girls can see themselves in diverse roles and positions of leadership, noting that this empowers them to believe in their potential.
The Minister, who spoke on the theme: ‘Accelerate Action’, pointed to the representation of women in Jamaica’s Parliament as a symbol of progress.
