(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana) On this occasion of the Thirty-Eighth Observance of United Nations (UN) International Women’s Day, I again salute the women and girls of the Caribbean Community. Today provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the promises continually made to our women and girls focusing, in particular, on issues related to their personal security and the negative effects on their development.

I express the warmest sentiments of the Caribbean Community to all women in the Region, the Regional Diaspora and indeed, the world on the occasion of International Women's Day 2005 in this the year of the CARICOM Single Market.

This International Women's Day we pay tribute to women and their extraordinary economic, social, cultural and political contributions to societal development. This is a day that gives voice to the struggle for equality by women everywhere regardless of nationality, race, colour, religion or other differences.
