International Women Day

International Women Day

The Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women, who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities. The world has made unprecedented advances, but no country has achieved gender equality. 50 years ago, we landed on the moon; we discovered new human ancestors and photographed a black hole for the first time.In the meantime, International legal restrictions have kept 2.8 billion women from accessing the same choice of jobs as men. Let’s make 2020 count for women and girls everywhere.

Women’s Rights

The theme of International Women Day 2020 is, I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights. The theme is aligned with UN Women’s new multi generational campaign, Generation Equality, which marks the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the most progressive road map for the empowerment of women and girls, everywhere. This year we will also be celebrating other major UN anniversaries, such as the 10th  anniversary of the establishment of UN Women, among others.

Real change has been agonizingly slow for the majority of women & girls in the world. Today, not a single country can claim to have achieved gender equality. Multiple obstacles remain unchanged in law and in culture. Women and girls continue to be undervalued; they work more and earn less and have fewer choices; and experience multiple forms of violence at home and in public spaces. Further more, there is a significant threat of rollback of hard-won feminist gains.

The year 2020 represents an unmissable opportunity to mobilize global action to achieve gender equality and human rights of all women and girls. For  more query related to International Women Day visit our website
