EQUAL RIGHTS EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

                      In order to build a great democratic, just, fair and humane society, it is of utmost importance to arouse the broad masses of our people to join the struggle that will ensure "equal rights, equal opportunities and progress for all".
                      Genuine equality between women and men, girls and boys can only be realised in the process of a just, fair and humane transformation of our society as a whole.
                      There's need for us to unite and enable women to take their rightful place in production and political activity to improve their economic and political status.
                      There is need to educate ourselves and others to take a more correct view of women and to actively redress the injustices done to women in all our institutions - the Church, state and family.                      True empowering of women enables them to participate in decision-making processes in society. One effective strategy towards empowering women is to promote equal opportunity for women's representation in decision-making positions.
Women also have the right and duty to take part in the political and administrative work of our nation. Women possess full equality and dignity and have a significant role to play in the affairs of our country.
                      This discrimination and marginalization of women doesn't make sense even biblically because we are told: "There is not male and female; for you are all one in Jesus Christ" .
Politically, women have contributed a lot in all our struggles. Women have thrown their lot, alongside men, with our struggle for independence and democracy. And women, alongside men, have fallen in that struggle. Here is the most profound equality of all: equality in suffering and in hope.
