The District Administration of Pherzawl, in collaboration with the District Social Welfare Office and the District Programme Officer (ICDS), observed International Women’s Day 2026 at the Deputy Commissioner’s Complex under the theme “Give to Gain.” The program highlighted the significance of empowering women through education, equality, and social justice.
Organized under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) initiative and held under the aegis of the Deputy Commissioner, the event brought together officials, women leaders, students, and community members to commemorate the global occasion. A key highlight of the celebration was the final round of an extemporaneous speech competition among girl students, organized in collaboration with various women’s groups. Winners were awarded cash prizes and certificates, while gifts were also distributed to all women and girls who attended the program.
Addressing the gathering, Deputy Commissioner Mannuamching IAS underscored the indispensable role of women in society, noting that men are incomplete without women and that progress in society depends on equal opportunities for both genders. She also reflected on the historic 1908 march in New York City, where around 15,000 women protested against harsh working conditions and low wages and demanded voting rights—an event that later inspired the global observance of International Women’s Day.
The celebration concluded with renewed commitment from the district administration and participants to continue promoting women’s empowerment and gender equality in the Pherzawl district.
