International Women’s Day
Ms SULEYMAN (St Albans) (13:08): I rise today to acknowledge and pay my respects to all women in St Albans on International Women’s Day. I know that women in our community have contributed in so many ways, whether it is raising a family, in their workplace and indeed in every single corner of our community. They contribute not just today but every single day. Wherever you look, women are smashing the glass ceiling, but I do acknowledge there is more work to be done.
I want to give special thanks to incredible local women. Lidija Nezovski is a strong, proud mother and a very successful businesswoman in my local community and very much an active volunteer in her community. Each year Lidija hosts over 500 women, who unite together to celebrate the amazing achievements of women across the west. Lidija has smashed the glass ceiling, working in a male-dominated industry, and today I am celebrating the many, many more women like Lidija and other women throughout the multicultural sector as well, and importantly those who are inspiring and paving the way for strong women to come forward and be part of an even better and more vibrant society. So happy International Women’s Day to all women.
