The Head of the Raiwaqa Health Centre, Doctor Erum Samreen says we are all responsible for breaking the bias against women not only in our work place but we must ensure that we have an influence on our communities, schools and universities.

She highlighted this during the International Women’s Day Celebration at Housing Authority.

Dr. Samreen says resilience is key and the hardworking women and frontliners that worked during the pandemic have done such an amazing work.

She further says setting high goals and being ambitious is important in any organisation and any woman can achieve that.

Dr Samreen adds if you work hard and set your goals you will be able to achieve anything.

The new CEO of Housing Authority, Ritesh Singh says every Fijian owning a home is equally important and everyone has a responsibility to take care and respect all mothers and sisters every day.
