She said, "To every father who has answered the call with integrity, love, and perseverance—I thank you. Your quiet sacrifices do not go unnoticed. To the men who are still finding their way, know that your presence matters more than you may ever realise. And to the women who uplift and stand beside fathers—thank you for being essential to this journey."

Persad-Bissessar described fatherhood as a sacred responsibility that cannot be understated.
