Their clamour for equity doesn’t mean taking the position men in the society and family but an appeal for academic,professional and career equity. Says Madam Dingha Judith Galabe, the General President General of  Baligham women Development and Cultural  organisation.
The King of Baligham who doubles as the mayor of Santa council,Samkie Elvis Gahnyam II expressed gratitude to the women for their remarkable organisation of the day in the village. 
The successful Organisation of the day in the village  aligns his vision  of oneness ,speaking with one voice to promote peace and unity  in the village.

Fon Samaki Elvis Gayam II bows to the traditional myth of his Fondoms 

Fon Samaki Elvis Gayam II exhorted Northwest administration to pave the way for other villages  where there is peace to henceforth organise the International women's day in their various Fondoms to boost the moral of local women and  reinforce unity while  also encouraging the internally displaced to come back home. Too much fear of insecurity breeds insecurity.  He noted.
