On March 8 each year, we celebrate International Women’s Day, highlighting the achievements of women who continue to break barriers, challenge inequalities, and shape development locally and globally.
This year’s theme, “Give to Gain,” underscores a simple but powerful truth: meaningful progress requires deliberate contributions from governments, institutions, communities, and individuals. When we invest in women, we all benefit as a society.
In Trinidad and Tobago, we have made encouraging strides in women’s health. Continued government financing of women’s health programmes, access to the HPV vaccine that helps prevent cervical cancer, and the increasing availability of mental health clinics are important gains. These are achievements we should celebrate and protect.
