St Kitts Celebrates Women's Day Honoring Outstanding Entrepreneurs and Influencers

There are a handful of special dates we celebrate equally worldwide. Independence Day, Victory Day, and similar holidays are specific to each country. Yet some holidays have managed to surpass the political borders and become endearing celebrations across the globe, or at least in most countries. To name a few, we have January 1st, Labor Day, and one we celebrated quite recently: International Women's Day. 

In order to say happy international Women's Day to all the brave girls and gals who help make the world a better place, we chose to dedicate an article to them. For this, we went to one of our favorite destinations, Saint Kitts and Nevis, which has been featured in several of our sections including citizenship and residency, asset protection and trusts, and corporate services.

Reading the Saint Kitts Observer, we learned about the special event held to celebrate women day, so let's have a glimpse at the Federation and their outstanding ladies.

Saint Kitts and Nevis Celebrates International Women's Day with a Ceremony 

First, let's talk about the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, one of the most important countries in the region and a pillar when it comes to citizenship by investment. It boasts the oldest program and several other advantages for international investors and global businesspeople. 

The island of Nevis is home to the famous Nevis trust which has been dubbed the Fort Knox of trusts due to its impenetrability. This is possible thanks to the solid local legislation which protects against foreign rulings.

The federation is composed of two islands, Saint Kitts, where you will find more developed infrastructure, and the country's capital, and Nevis, with its quieter atmosphere. 

Saint Kitts and Nevis is home to a profound culture and an advanced society which was consolidated by the local men and, of course, women. The latter were honored in March in an event attended even by the head of state.

Furthermore, Crannie Cranston got an empowerment award and Avonelle Martin was granted the Prime Minister’s award.

Marva Weeks, together with Jay Weeks launched this brand in 2009, and they've done more than designing nice clothes: they made significant contributions to artists, sports teams, and schools.
