"Dear women,
I heartily congratulate you on International Women's Day.
March 8 is another occasion to highlight the importance
of promoting and protecting women's rights and to combine efforts in that
direction.
As the Human Rights Defender, one of the important directions
of my work is the protection of women's rights, the prevention of any kind of
violence against women and the fight against it.
Each of us, by our example, should contribute to the
formation and strengthening of a harmonious social environment based on
equality and the promotion of women's rights.
The steps taken to protect and promote women's rights in
our country must be continuous. Overcoming stereotypes, creating equal
opportunities, ensuring women's participation in the decision-making process, promoting
women's potential in social and political life is extremely important for the
successful implementation of that process.
Dear women,
Once again, I congratulate you on this beautiful
holiday."
