Joint issue between Department of Posts and United Nations Postal Administration on UN Women HeForShe postage stamp
The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, was
apprised of the joint issue of UN Women HeForShe postage stamp. A
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between Department of
Posts and United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) in February, 2016
for this purpose.
In this Joint issue, the stamps were printed in the form of sheetlet of
20 se-tenants and Miniature Sheet of two stamps on the occasion of
International Women's Day.
UN Women HeForShe campaign is a solidarity movement for gender equality
that brings together one half of humanity in support of the other half
of humanity for the benefit of all in social terms. This Joint issue is
dedicated for the empowerment of women around the world. This would
promote great cause of gender equality which the Indian government has
been championing in the recent times. Thus, Department of Posts and UNPA
have arrived an agreement to celebrate and to commemorate International
Women's day on 8th of March, 2016 by releasing a joint stamp.
