The world celebrates International Women’s Day annually on March 8, honoring all women who are leading the global fight for women’s rights.
It’s a day that celebrates ‘the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women’ whilst also calling for equality – where men and women are treated the same.
#InternationalWomensDay and #ChooseToChallenge have been the most tweeted hashtag for most of the day across the various social media platforms.
Here is a look at some of the most striking messages/quotes from some Bissa women.

The Bissa woman believes in her abilities and capabilities. It is that same firm belief that keeps me moving. I believe in hard work i believe in perseverance.
As we mark this special day, it’s time to accept the fact that gaining financial freedom as a woman is not embedded in a man’s pocket but through setting the right goals and attaining them through hard work and perseverance.
Here is to remind you to go for gold! It is possible!
I love challenges and #I choose to Challenge

We need to live in a culture that values, respects and looks up to and idolizes women as much as men.
Do not live someone else’s life and someone else’s idea of what womanhood is.
Womanhood is you. Happy International Women’s Day to all Bissa women.
