The CNMI Women Association, in collaboration with the Women\u2019s Affairs Office, will be kicking off the Woman\u2019s Month this March with a proclamation signing at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center in Susupe on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

The overall purpose of Woman\u2019s Month is to celebrate women and to highlight the essential roles that they play. The CWA has various events that are coming up with a theme that is focused on continuing to raise women leading sustainable development.<\/p>\n

\u201cOftentimes women are only recognized as being leaders of their home but not recognized for being leaders in government or even entrepreneurship,\u201d said CWA board member Sharina Clark. It\u2019s therefore important and empowering for young girls to see that they aren\u2019t limited in how they will grow up to be, that there are many things they can achieve in other spheres like business and politics, Clark added.<\/p>\n

One of their main events is the Women Exposition that will be held on March 24; the CWA will showcase women entrepreneurs and artists, since not many people know who they are or what home businesses are available.<\/p>\n

The CWA is inviting the public to witness the proclamation signing on Feb. 28 at the Multi-Purpose Center and to also witness other activities that will be happening throughout the week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is really important to highlight the success of women and what\u2019s happening around us,\u201d said Women\u2019s Affairs Office\u2019s Shirley Camacho-Ogumoro. \u201cIt\u2019s our time and we want to make sure that everyone\u2019s comfortable and they\u2019re there to witness what\u2019s going on too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
