Dear Editor,
I wish to applaud Jamaica and Jamaican women for the remarkable achievement attained for being recognised as the country with the most female managers in the world.
Jamaica has outshone itself in many fields and set many records for the world to emulate. The year 2015 has started off with this historic and record-breaking milestone of being the country where, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO), just under 60 per cent of our island-nation's management force is female, the highest level anywhere in the world.
Jamaica has now placed itself as the epitome of women's empowerment and gender equality, and has set a strong example of what women are able to achieve. This is an outstanding accomplishment to be celebrated. It speaks to the excellence, strength and tenacity of our Jamaican women and to a country which has achieved gender parity at a time when many countries are struggling to do so.
We stand as an example for the world to emulate and at the forefront of the international cause for women leaders, breaking barriers and shattering the glass ceiling.
History is repelete with many examples of Jamaican women who have achieved tremendous success in their fields of endeavour and we salute and applaud the Jamaican woman for what they have achieved and will continue to achieve. I am a proud Jamaican woman!
