The President, Management and Staff of the Economic
Community of West African States (ECOWAS) celebrates with women all over the
world on the occasion of the March 8th International Women’s Day. We
use this opportunity to re-affirm our commitment to the United Nations’ theme
for the 2014 International Women’s Day - “Equality for Women is Progress for
all".
Gender equality and women’s economic empowerment promotes
progress for the family, community, nations and the world. In this respect,
women’s issues deserves to be given adequate attention on the basis of human
rights, economic efficiency and social justice.
We particularly celebrate the West African women for
their untiring efforts to support the regional integration agenda of our
region, in all spheres of our social, cultural and economic development. We
salute the women in West Africa for their strong resolve to work and support
all efforts in the promotion of good governance, peace, security; and
post-conflict re-habilitation and re-integration.
