|
Imphal, Mar 8 (DIPR) : Celebrating the spirit, strength and resilience of women, the Manipur State Commission for Women (MSCW) today observed International Women’s Day, 2026 under the theme “Give to Gain” at the Sangai Conference Hall, Hotel Imphal.
Speaking at the event, Chandel AC MLA Dr SS Olish remarked that being born a woman is a blessing from God.
She asserted that every woman should recognise her role and responsibility in society and added that women must contribute sincerely towards building a harmonious and prosperous family, community and the State at large.
“A world without women is incomplete. Every woman should take pride in being born a woman, while also understanding her roles and responsibilities and fulfilling them with sincerity and dignity”, Olish said. Referring to the present situation of Manipur, she appealed to all women to nurture goodwill, unity and mutual understanding, expressing hope that such values would lead the State towards lasting peace and harmony.
She noted that women possess the innate qualities of gentleness, kindness, compassion and generosity, encouraging them to use these strengths to promote dialogue and resolve differences amicably rather than allowing conflicts to escalate into unnecessary violence.
Expressing concern over instances where women undermine or degrade one another, she urged them to move beyond such tendencies and instead stand together in solidarity, uplifting and empowering one another with mutual respect.
The MLA further called upon women to contribute positively so that the world may witness the strength, dignity and exemplary character of women of Manipur.
Thumlip Tiningpham Monsang, Chairperson of MSCW, said that the role of a good woman is essential in shaping a peaceful and progressive society.
Emphasising the importance of recognising and supporting women, she stated that the observance of the day aims to encourage, inspire and uplift women.
She stressed the theme “Give to Gain”, stating that every act of help makes a difference.
Taking part in the programme, W Phajatombi Devi, Member Secretary of MSCW & Additional Director of (IPR) Manipur, highlighted the significance of International Women’s Day.
