International Women's Day is an opportunity to celebrate women’s achievements but also to raise awareness about gender discrimination and to promote the empowerment of women and girls.
On 8th of March, Florin Bulgariu, Head of Mission of EUBAM Rafah, thanked all mission members for their dedication. He recalled the history of International Women’s Day and stressed the inequalities that still exist between women and men all over the world.
EUBAM Rafah has remained dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women working under the umbrella of the General Administration for Borders and Crossings (GABC) on all border related issues. The Mission encourages and ensures an increased participation of women in our activities and delivered a series of training sessions on leadership for female officers of GABC during the current mandate.
