The Editor,International women day was again for the second time celebrated on a big stage in Liberia, something which is welcoming. Women are still battling with several issues in Liberia, ranging from sexual harassment, rape, poverty, domestic violence, maternal mortality, and discrimination amongst others. As we celebrated Women’s day aimed at creating awareness on the plight of women in the world with Liberian women being of no exception, it is important that we take concrete actions and tackle challenges confronting our mothers and girls. Issues of protection, education, empowerment, health, access to justice, stabilized economy; are key to empowering Liberian women from all walks of life. It is time that we use funding appropriated for women’s empowerment to help alleviate the conditions of Liberian women.
