19th Annual Outstanding Women's Awards 2024

Once again, several women have been chosen for their outstanding contribution to their communities and for being role models to girls across the country. The National Women’s Commission continues to spearhead this event by recognizing women’s achievement in different field of work and recognizing that we all must be the change we want to see in Belize. These women clearly demonstrate that they were willing to be the change they wanted to see in Belize. Each of them deserves our admiration and respect because they have served Belize well. They have opted to share their gifts and skills so that their communities could benefit. They have opened their hearts to those around them and have gifted them with their own lights. Other agencies and organizations have been invited to honor and acknowledge women for the outstanding contributions they have made to the organization or to the community. It is because of these women and the many others like them that we celebrate this Month.
