International Women’s Day 2017

 Polye said this while commemorating the International Women’s Day across the globe tomorrow.

 He said the global theme: ‘Women in the changing World of Work; Planet 50-50 by 2030’ complemented the efforts put towards its achievement.

“As a father of daughters, I am a strong advocate of breaking the barrier in gender equality and women’s rights.

“We must understand to see our women and girls as equal player in the digital world,” he said.

Polye stated his Triumph Heritage Empowerment (T.H.E) party recorded a victory of two seats in the last election.

“As they grow up, girls must be exposed to a broad range of careers, and encouraged to make choices that lead beyond the traditional service and care options to jobs in industry, art, public service, modern agriculture and science.

“We have to start change at home and in the earliest days of school, so that there are no places in a child’s environment where they learn that girls must be less, have less, and dream smaller than boys.
