‘Investing in women, building an inclusive future’

“Today, we celebrate International Women’s Day. This year’s theme, ‘Give To Gain’, highlights the importance of support, generosity, and unity in empowering women across Seychelles. As we celebrate the remarkable women who contribute tirelessly to our society, let us remember that by giving encouragement, opportunities, and recognition, we all stand to gain a stronger and more inclusive nation. By empowering women and investing in their potential, we create a society where everyone can thrive. Together, we can champion women’s rights, break down barriers, and build an inclusive future – one where every woman’s contribution is valued and celebrated.

“To the women of Seychelles, your strength, resilience, and dedication inspire us all. Through giving, supporting, and uplifting one another, we can shape a future where every woman’s potential is realized and celebrated.

“Linyon Demokratik Seselwa (LDS) remains committed to the values of equality, social justice, and empowerment for all citizens, including women. Under the theme ‘Give To Gain’, we recognise that supporting and empowering women is essential for the progress and development of our society. When we invest in women – through opportunities, education, and recognition – we strengthen families, communities, and the nation as a whole. “Empowering women is a shared responsibility. By working together to support and uplift women, we foster national growth, social cohesion, and a more just, prosperous, and harmonious Seychelles. Let us continue to work hand in hand for equality, progress, and prosperity for all.”
