County Governor Woo Seung-hee said, "We will do our best to guarantee the rights of not only women but also socially vulnerable groups, and to create a society without discrimination, where everyone is dignified simply by their existence," adding, "Please all work together to build a fair and livable women-friendly city Yeongam-gun."

'International Women's Day' originated from a protest by American women workers on March 8, 1908, demanding improved working conditions and suffrage rights, and was designated as an official national day by the UN in 1977.
