Friends,
Today we celebrate the political and social advances made by women in the last 100 years. We must acknowledge and thank the many strong women who stood up in the face of adversity to defend our rights. Our right to be declared a person, and participate in our democratic system, our right to obtain higher education, enter into the workforce and be treated with respect.
