Sri Lankan women proudly celebrate 50 years of women’s leadership in politics.

 

Women gathered at the residence of Her Excellency Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumarathunga on the 21st of July for a simple ceremony and garland on the photograph of the first woman head of state Hon. Sirimavo Ratwatte Dias Bandaranaike.

 

Madam Sirimavo Bandaranaike became the first Sri Lanka woman head of state on the 21st of July 1960.

 

Women of Sri Lanka will be hosting many events during the year to celebrate this very special event and also to encourage women around the world to enter in to the realm of politics.
