Women Empowerment Miniature Sheet - 2015

Description :

Empowering women to participate fully in economic life across all sectors is essential to build stronger economies, achieve internationally agreed goals for development and sustainability, and improve the quality of life for women, men, families and communities. United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) focuses on gender equality and women’s empowerment not only in terms of human rights, but also because they are a pathway to achieving the Millennium Development Goals and sustainable development. The Department of posts organized a nation-wide competition inviting entries for the designs of commemorative postage stamps on the theme “Women Empowerment”. Based on selected entries, a set of four stamps and a miniature sheet on the theme was released by the Minister of Communication & Information Technology.
