March 8 is the day when we recall the bloody battles full of sacrifices at the global level, so as not to forget their cause that continues to be passed down from generation to generation even today, until the freedoms and rights of women are fully realized. At the same time, we thank these heroines and brave women, who are an example and a motivation to continue the fight to achieve justice and equality between women and men”, emphasized Professor Fatmire Lumani.
