“The theme of this year's International Women's Day -- the role of women in decision-making - is central to the advancement of women around the world, and to the progress of humankind as a whole.
“As the Beijing Declaration tells us, 'women's empowerment and their full participation on the basis of equality in all spheres of society, including participation in the decision-making process and access to power, are fundamental for the achievement of equality, development and peace.'”
