KUALA LUMPUR: The newly launched International Women’s Day 2025 stamp underscores the Women, Family, and Community Development Ministry's commitment to empowering women in the country.
Its minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said that this first-ever commemorative stamp, issued in collaboration with Pos Malaysia Berhad, emphasises the importance of women’s roles in society.
“It should also remind us to ensure that their voices are heard.
“For the ministry, we are empowering women to ensure the country has more female leaders in various sectors including economy and politics,” she said when met at the World Trade Centre here on Saturday (March 8).
Nancy also shared that there will be more upcoming programmes that will be available for women especially the younger generation.
“We want to provide the younger women with more opportunities through programmes that will be announced later,” she added.
