Today we are marking Public Service Day. 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. The public service sector is a key partner in efforts to advance gender equality and empower women.
