AMBASSADOR CARLOS SALINAS
Greetings to all women on International Women’s Day! This day has been celebrated since March 19, 1911, when more than 1 million women and men attended assemblies in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, seeking an end to discrimination against women. Specifically, they called for women’s right to work, to vote, and to hold public office, among others. In 1975,during International Women’s Year, the United Nations began celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8. This celebration is special to women of all sectors and all countries, but I send my special greetings to the women in maritime.
