Saturday, 23 March 2019 marked the 37th Anniversary of the Anguilla National Council of Women.
On behalf of the Executive of the Anguilla National Council of Women, I extend sincere congratulations to the past Presidents and their Executive, the affiliated organizations, the Caribbean Women’s Association (CARIWA) for their support in building on the foundation of the early stalwarts of this organization.
We reflect on the lives of our departed sisters and their families for their legacy. So by the grace of Almighty God, let us pledge to continue to advocate for the empowerment of women in the spiritual, social, economic and political framework of our island.
An open invitation is extended to women in our affiliated organizations and other individuals to join the Council.
With regards to our track record, the Council has contributed considerately to the standard of living for women, particularly, their spirituality, other improvements in family life and ownership of property in our community.
Therefore, we were always mindful of the gender perspective in our advocacy and decision making as necessary.
Special thanks to our clergymen, their congregations, media colleagues, and the general public at home and abroad for their support.
