Women are unique in their anatomy, psychology, and societal roles, yet they are not mere contributors to humanity but essential to its existence. Without women, there is no world.
From the beginning, God established the equal value of men and women. When he created the first man, he also made the first woman a “helper fit for him” (Genesis 2:20). This does not imply inferiority; instead, it highlights complementarity—a divine partnership where both man and woman stand side by side.
God’s blessing, command, and provision were given to both Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:28-30). They were equally responsible before him, entrusted with the same divine mandate. This foundational truth affirms that men and women share equal dignity, worth, and accountability in God’s eyes.
Though Adam and Eve had no earthly parents, God instituted a sacred standard for marriage when he created them:
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24)
This “one flesh” union is more than just physical—it signifies emotional, spiritual, and functional interdependence. Men and women are incomplete without each other, bound together in mutual support and reliance.
Yet, history tells a painful story. Women have been degraded, marginalised, and stripped of their rightful place in many societies. Their voices were silenced, their potential suppressed.
But in recent centuries, women have asserted their rightful place in society, reclaiming the dignity and purpose God intended for them. The world now recognises women’s contributions to politics, business, technology, medicine, and space exploration.
Despite this progress, many cultures still deny women fundamental rights. Discrimination, injustice, and inequality persist—a stark reminder that the fight for proper recognition and respect is far from over.
Women’s Day is more than a celebration—it is a call to action. It reminds us of women’s indispensable role in shaping families, communities, and nations. It is a day for women to stand tall in their God-given identity and for men to express gratitude for the women who enrich their lives—mothers, wives, sisters, aunts, and daughters.

Let us not wait for one day a year to recognize women’s worth. Let us honour, respect, and uplift them every day—not as an obligation, but as an acknowledgment of their God-ordained significance.
Because a world without women is no world at all.

Happy Women’s Day 2025
