International Women's Day

 


This year, my city is celebrating Women's Day by hosting the State Level Women's Day celebration at Pullman's Hotel.

The focus will be on women in research. A book has been published on that topic, based on 51 women in research in Sarawak.


However we need to celebrate the day together with the largest women's population in the world - the women of Republic of China - around 680 million.

Qatar has the smallest female percentage of population in the world at 24.7% 





We also remember all those women who were tortured for their thinking, for their courage to bring about equality, and many  modern amenities to make women's lives better.
