Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les has ex­tend­ed greet­ings to women across Trinidad and To­ba­go, prais­ing their strength, re­silience and con­tri­bu­tions to na­tion­al de­vel­op­ment as the coun­try marks In­ter­na­tion­al Women’s Day.

In a mes­sage is­sued to­day, Beck­les said the an­nu­al ob­ser­vance pro­vides an op­por­tu­ni­ty to ho­n­our the achieve­ments of women while recog­nis­ing the strength, sac­ri­fice and lead­er­ship they bring to every sphere of so­ci­ety.

“For 51 years Trinidad and To­ba­go has joined the glob­al com­mu­ni­ty in cel­e­brat­ing In­ter­na­tion­al Women’s Day. It is an op­por­tu­ni­ty not on­ly to ho­n­our the achieve­ments of women, but al­so to re­flect on the strength, sac­ri­fice, and lead­er­ship that women bring to every sphere of our so­ci­ety.”
