Happy International Women’s Month, Pascians!

Every single day, especially this month of March, let us all appreciate and remind ourselves of the achievements, resilience, and challenges that each woman faces worldwide. Let this be a moment for empowerment and support for women to take place, allowing individuals and the world to continuously recognize the impact of women in the world may it be in shaping society, contribution in our rich history, or allowing growth and newly formed ideas in various fields.

Our history is full of pain and wounds—each mistreatment causing them to bleed more. These wounds, inflicted through centuries of discrimination and violence, continue to bleed, even in the present day. The pain they carry is not just from the past, but from the harsh realities they face every day—be it in the form of inequality, abuse, or injustice. No matter what their role in the society is, they still carry a thousand burdens. Despite the progress made, many women are still denied the respect, safety, and opportunities they worked so hard for.

Start. Continue. Create.

We have started. We fight, advocate, and protect women, and we must continue—continue pushing for a world where equality, respect, and justice thrive for all. And then, we must create. Create a world where every woman, at any moment, feels safe in both her strength and vulnerability.

Pascians, hand-in-hand, let us treat women the way they deserve to be treated.
