First Lady, Sandra Granger yesterday said that while the Public Service is “not doing too badly” with achieving gender parity, there is still a lot more work to be done.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that the First Lady was delivering remarks at the opening ceremony of a one-day Gender and Development Workshop for Permanent Secretaries at the Herdmanston Lodge. The workshop was organised by the Women and Gender Equality Commission in collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).
The First Lady said that a working environment which caters to the specific needs of women, provides equal pay for equal work and women’s involvement in non-traditional sectors will put Guyana on the right path.
