ICROSS celebrates women's day today . Throughout the world international women's day is being celebrated . For decades this day marks both the ptogress made and the challenges ahead .
Dr Michael Meegan , international director said today
" for thirty years ICROSS has been dedicated to the rights of women , empowering women, equality and equal opportunity . While great progress has occurred there is no room for complacency . ICROSS projects remain focused on women's health , gender awareness and fighting for a fairer world . A big part of our work is maternal and child health. Today we celebrate the very real advances around the world . Tragically women remain oppressed abused exploited and denied their rights in many countries . "
"Today we honour the women who struggle for justice and basic rights . We continue to build long term community owned projects that will wotk towards fairness and equality . In 2011 there are still millions of women living in absolute poverty . Far from being complacent we must all re double our efforts in fighting this suffering and injustice "
All ICROSS projects are women based and community owned .
