Women urged to turn sacrifices into leadership at We Lift 6

Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Dr. Vindhya Persaud, called on women to recognize the sacrifices they already make and use that strength to lead.

“I see so many women raising children on their own, women sacrificing so many things, working two jobs to ensure that their families are taken care of,” Dr. Persaud said, acknowledging the resilience of women across the country.

She urged women to break free from limitations and reach their full potential. “Don’t see a box, don’t see a glass ceiling…be all that you can be and all that you are meant to be,” she said.

Dr Persaud was at the time speaking at the opening ceremony of the ‘We Lift-6’ conference.

Dr Persaud also stressed the importance of supporting women leaders.

“Never be part of anything that dishonours a woman, tears her down, does not recognise what she has achieved, but more importantly recognise that she is a leader,” she added.

The conference highlights creativity, entrepreneurship, and leadership, offering women the opportunity to showcase their talents and pursue independence.
