The South American TV Nuevo Tiempo (HopeTV) celebrated International Women’s Day with a live broadcast of their family program Entre Familia, wishing their audience a Happy Women’s Day. It is a program with live moderators discussing topics of interest to families. On March 8, the discussion included an interview with Sary Hernandez, a member of the Women’s Ministries leadership team in Spain, who informed why International Women’s Day is celebrated all around the world.
Included in the program were short information clips about the achievements of women in past times like Marie Curie, Nobel prize-winning physicist and chemist; Actress Hedy Lamarr, who developed a radio guidance system for torpedoes; Benazir Bhutto, Prime Minister of Pakistan; Amelia Earhart, first woman pilot to cross the Atlantic; Valentina Tereshkova, first woman cosmonaut; Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman doctor and Irena Sendler, the Polish nurse who saved up to 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto.
Viewers were able to send greetings to loved ones who are far away on International Women’s Day. For the large Spanish-speaking population of the world, the program was a real and delightful highlight.
