On March 8th, we celebrate International Women's Day (IWD), a global day acknowledging the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It's a day to reflect on the progress made, call for change, and celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.
Why We Celebrate ๐
International Women's Day is not just a day to celebrate women's achievements; it's a call to action for gender parity and women's rights. Despite significant progress, women and girls around the world continue to face discrimination and violence. IWD serves as a reminder that the fight for equality is far from over.
This Year's Theme: "Embrace Equity" โ
Each year, IWD is centered around a theme that highlights a specific aspect of women's equality. For 2024, the theme is "Embrace Equity." It's a call to understand the difference between equity and equality - providing support based on individual needs and circumstances to achieve an equal outcome.
How to Get Involved ๐ค

A Call for Continued Action ๐
International Women's Day is more than a day of celebration; it's a movement for equality and justice. By understanding the significance of this day and taking action, we can all contribute to a world where gender parity is not just an aspiration but a reality. Let's continue to push for change, not just on International Women's Day, but every day.
