This message is a strong declaration of support for the St. Lucia Labour Party Government, highlighting the progress and benefits women have experienced under its leadership.
Women of SLPWO: Champions of Progress
We are the women who understand what true progress looks like. We've journeyed from being disadvantaged to a position where we can now seize the many opportunities the St. Lucia Labour Party Government has provided us:
Financial Empowerment: Access to loans and grants to start or support our small businesses.
Education for All: Scholarships and bursaries for our children and ourselves, ensuring brighter futures.
Protection and Justice: legislative redress and support for when we confronted with domestic violence.
Skills Development: Introduction of TVET schools and many opportunities to learn a trade.
Youth Empowerment: Creating avenues for our young people to earn money from their talents and hobbies.
Elderly Care: Providing the care and respect our elders deserve.
Prenatal Support: Care and assistance during our pregnancies.
Employment Opportunities: Jobs for seasonal workers, ensuring they too can eat .
Economic Growth: A burgeoning economy that benefits all.
Livable Wages: Protecting our standard of living by instituting a minimum livable wage and raising pensioners' income.
These are just a few ways we have experienced progress under this government. We, as women, recognize and appreciate this progress.
We refuse to return to an administration that:
Pried laptops from our children’s hands because they underestimated their potential.
Fired us for not conforming to their narrow views, punishing us for our affiliations. Being well RED couldn't work in a jaundice country:
Damaged our patrimony and credit rating, confusing meanings of both and their roles and responsibilities.
Suppressed free speech and professional independence, insisting that everyone must submit and follow some Guy... or his Master ...without question.
We will keep walking forward—strong, determined, and with purpose—because women know progress. We nurture potential, care deeply, and with a little help from a caring government, we see our children progress.
Women for Progress. Walking strong. Walking with purpose. Walking forward.
This is what progress looks like. We know it when we see it.
Shout out to all progressive women .. *see you tomorrow on the Walk of Progress* .
WOMEN for Progress Walking !
