An officer of the Department of Gender Affairs in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) is urging members of the public to help select deserving women on the island for the department’s public recognition of their achievements.
Mr. Mario Phillip, Gender Officer at the department noted that the annual awards ceremony has been held on Nevis in recent years for International Women’s Day on March 08, along with a month of activities.
The theme this year is “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.” The theme is aligned with the priority theme for the upcoming 67th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW-67), “Innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls”.
