Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
International Women’s Day was observed on March 8 across the country as elsewhere in the globe with a call to ensure women’s empowerment and equality at every level.
This year’s theme for the day was ‘Empowering women-empowering humanity: Picture it!’
Different socio-cultural organisations chalked out elaborate programmes to mark the day.
The day began with lightening candles by several hundred students at Central Shaeed Minar premises in Dhaka 12:00am, followed by taking oath.
