Dear Editor,

AS celebrations and observances to mark IWD 2018 come to an end and our womenfolk have been feted, honoured and saluted in all walks of life, spare a thought for the many wives, mothers,  daughters,  sisters and other womenfolk of sugar workers.

These women, particularly those in areas of closed estates, toil every day  to make ends meet in the home while providing guidance and sustenance under trying circumstances.

Let’s celebrate and salute these women too, who remain the bedrock of their family and community.

Regards
Shamshun Mohamed
