The women of the Togolese Revenue Office (OTR)<\/strong> marked the 110th International Women’s Day<\/strong> through a panel discussion and experience-sharing session led by women leaders. Under the theme, “Women’s Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID-19 World,”<\/strong> they reflected on their social and professional realities and encouraged one another to continue advancing the promotion of women’s rights.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On 5 March 2021<\/strong>, ahead of the celebration, the women of OTR established an association to promote their interests and better address the challenges they face. A nine-member executive committee was elected to lead the association.<\/p>\r\n

On this occasion, Mrs Awa NANA-DABOYA<\/strong>, Ombudsman of the Republic of Togo and President of HCRRUN, was appointed Patron of the association. According to the Director of Communication, Mrs MAGBENGA Komnaka<\/strong>, this choice was deliberate:<\/p>\r\n

“We chose her because she is one of the Togolese women who has built an outstanding career in the public administration at a time when it was far more difficult for women to reach positions of responsibility. She is a woman we deeply admire for her humility and the constant availability she has always shown.”<\/em><\/p>\r\n

Mrs Awa NANA-DABOYA expressed her gratitude for the honour bestowed upon her and pledged to support the association in achieving its objectives.<\/p>\r\n

International Women’s Day originated in 1908<\/strong>, when 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter working hours, better pay and the right to vote. One year later, the Socialist Party of America<\/strong> established the first National Women’s Day. The idea of an international observance was proposed in 1910<\/strong> by Clara Zetkin<\/strong> during the International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen, where delegates from 17 countries<\/strong> unanimously endorsed the proposal. The first International Women’s Day was officially celebrated in 1911<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
