Minister of Social and Urban Transformation, Rawdon Turner, marked International Women’s Day 2025 by emphasizing the importance of rights, equality, and empowerment for women and girls worldwide.

This year’s theme, “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.”, serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to create a world where women and girls have the opportunity to thrive without discrimination.

In his address, Turner underscored his commitment to accelerating progress towards gender equality through policies and programs that empower women across all sectors of society.

“We must work together to break barriers and build a future where no woman is left behind,” he said.

The Minister highlighted the need for enhanced economic opportunities, social support systems, and initiatives that enable women to fulfill their potential.

He also expressed his admiration for the strength, resilience, and leadership of women in Antigua and Barbuda, noting that their contributions inspire change both locally and globally.

“I remain dedicated to championing efforts that uplift and empower women in every aspect of life,” Turner added, urging continued collaboration to foster a brighter, more inclusive future.

The statement was met with positive feedback from local women’s groups, who praised the Minister’s dedication to gender equality and the empowerment of women in the Caribbean.
