- This is not a simple environment;  many years ago, or not so long ago, unioforemd services were considered typically masculine. We women know best how many walls had to be broken to break this stereotype. (…) I wish you, girls, to experience respect for your competencies and for what you do every day at work, but above all, to find partnership as often as possible. (…) I wish you much satisfaction, fulfillment in all the fields you dream of.   Remember: girls can do anything – said Agata Wojda, Mayor of Kielce during the opening ceremony.

Almost one thousand women - representatives of uniformed services – both those serving in uniform and civilian workers  including tetired uniformed services personnel that also took part in the ceremony. For many of the gala participants, the International Women's Day was even more special because exactly 100 years ago, the first women's police formations were formed in Poland.  

- Today is a special opportunity to express gratitude and respect for all women for your daily effort and strength, wisdom and invaluable contribution to social, professional and family life. Dear ladies, you are an inspiration and a role model.  Tou make world become better and more beautiful. Your determination, care and dedication make families and the whole society feel safe and develop in harmony and mutual respect. – added Józef Bryk, Voivode of Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship.

There was attractions galore at the celebration of Women's Uniformed Day in the Omega Hall of the Congress Center. The Kielce band - Tercet Madam performed on stage. Magdalena Smalara prepared a musical performance for female officers entitled "A Woman to Eat - Songs about Pleasures".

- A day like today is not just a matter of individual wishes;  what matters is saying what is essential for these and future generations: our daughters, our granddaughters, and, in fact, the entire society. The point is that a woman and the work she does in every profession should be treated equally to a man's work. – emphasised Marzena Okła-Drewnowicz, Minister of Senior Policy of Poland.
