Berlin: German Chancellor Angela Merkel says on International Women's Day that
while much has been achieved, the struggle for more equality for women
in Germany and worldwide must continue.
Merkel, considered one of
the world's most powerful women, said today in a video message that
"many women before us have made sacrifices and fought persistently so
that women would have more rights ... but there's still a lot to do."
The chancellor said that, "there are also new tasks for men", but she didn't elaborate further.
Merkel added, "Therefore today is not only a day to look back at what
has been achieved, but also a day on which we say the struggle for equal
rights of women continues.
