New Delhi, Mar 7 (IBNS) President of India Pranab Mukherjee on Monday wished the women in India a day before the country joins the rest of the world in celebrating International Women’s Day.

We must respect the right of women to equal opportunities and a dignified life. We have a collective responsibility to create an ecosystem that ensures the safety, security and dignity of women in society," he said.
