EXCERPTS:
Women’s Day generally brings forth many thoughts: women’s equality/gender parity; women’s rights and the foremost need to break the bias (against women). In Oman, could we say that it is more than just celebrating womanhood – it is celebrating the success (various types of success, not just the monetary kind) of Omani women and also the unique integration between the two genders, who are working together to achieve a better future for Oman? Your thoughts on this.
This day goes beyond celebrating women’s achievements—it’s a tribute to the ongoing progress and the collaborative effort between men and women in Oman’s development. Omani women have excelled in various domains, demonstrating resilience and adaptability.
