Sir, – Once again International Women’s Day is upon us and once again I am immeasurably grateful that one whole day has been set aside to recognise women’s contribution to society. Unfortunately, the logical corollary is that the other 364 days are not days for women. Are they days for men? Like little Oliver Twistettes may we humbly ask for more, please? Instead of an annual pat on the head, could we expect that society considers and treats women as equals every day of the week, month and year? Now that would be an achievement worth celebrating! – Yours, etc,
