We celebrate the day, and we encourage you to well go on a brief journey through the rich heritage and culture of IWD as a testimony to the power of the collective effort.
Start by planting Seeds of Change to a Global Movement
The seeds of IWD began to grow in the early part of 20th century. It was during this time that women's rights took off. The 8th March 1857 Women were on strike to protest conditions of work that were not adequate and the subpar rights of women in their trade of clothing. This protest called for the reduction of working hours and decent living wage. On the 8th of March the march was organized by women working in the needle trade organized to oppose child labor and the conditions of sweatshops and demand the rights of women to vote. Two years later, following the march, March 8th began to be celebrated annually as International Women's Day.
The Catalyst for Change
In the 20th century, IWD was a powerful transformative influence. It became a platform that women could speak out and speak out regarding issues like voting rights and fair working conditions decent pay, and the right to receive educational opportunities. In 1975 in the year 1975 IWD became recognized as a legitimate cause by The United Nations officially recognized IWD and emphasized its significance for the whole world.
A Day of Celebration and Action
Today, IWD is celebrated in numerous ways, ranging from inspiring marches to intimate celebrations. This is a chance to celebrate women of distinction across all fields, from the arts and sciences to business owners and activists. However, IWD is not just an opportunity to celebrate and celebrate, it's also a chance to get involved. It is a reminder that the struggle to get gender equality is still in the process of being achieved. We must continue to push for equality in opportunities as well as challenge harmful stereotypes and stand up for women and girls around all over the world. The theme for International Women's Day 2024 is " Invest in Women for a faster pace of advancement" as well as the world-wide-known hashtag #InvestInWomen..
An ode to The UN The UN Five elements are vital to keep pushing this tagline, which is becoming outdated:
- investing in women as one of the human beings' problems:Time is running out. Equal representation for women is the main human rights concern that impacts all.
- Eliminating the cycle of poverty In the wake of COVID outbreak and conflicts within those 75 million are living in extreme poverty circumstances as of. It is crucial to take action immediately to prevent more than 342 million women and girls living in poverty by 2030.
- Financing that is gender responsive: Conflicts and rising costs could force 75% of countries to cut public expenditure to 2025. The impact will be negative for women and the essential services.
- Making the transition to a eco-friendly and more compassionate societyThe economy of today disproportionately impacts negatively women. The movement advocates for a more sustainable and compassionate society to raise the voices of women.
- Helping women to be change makers: Despite leading efforts women's organizations are receiving only 0.13 percent of the official aid to development.
