International women’s day
Vivekananda once said “if you give me 50 women I could change the world but you could give me 5000 men I don’t think I could.”
- This year’s campaign, #EachForEqual, draws attention to the difference individuals can make.
- Western Europe currently has the highest gender parity rating at 76.7%.
- Complete gender equality may not be achieved for another century.
“An equal world is an enabled world” – and every one of us can do our bit to bring about gender equality.
That’s the core message of #EachForEqual, the campaign at the centre of this year’s International Women’s Day. It seeks to draw attention to the idea that gender inequality isn’t a women’s issue, but an economic one – as gender equality is essential for economies and communities to thrive.
What values drive International Women’s Day?
International Women’s Day means different things to different people, but the global focus on equality and celebration is clear.
Throughout ancient and modern history, women have collaborated and lead purposeful action to redress inequality in the hope of a better future for their communities, children and themselves. Whether through bold well-documented action or through humble resistance that never made it into the history books, women have united for equality and achievement forever.
And along the way, one particularly powerful collaboration lead to the formation of a globally united moment for women across countries to come together in hope and action. That moment is “International Women’s Day”.
Started in the early 1900’s, the almighty and tenacious Suffragettes forged purposeful action for equality. It was the Suffragettes who started International Women’s Day, with the first officially named “lnternational Women’s Day” event held in 1911.
And still to this day, International Women’s Day continues to be a powerful platform globally that unifies tenacity and drives action for gender parity, while celebrating the social, cultural, economic and political achievements of women.
Values that guide International Women’s Day provide direction for the type of action, behaviour and ethos associated with this critical and globally-supported day.
Ten values that guide International Women’s Day are:
- Justice
- Dignity
- Hope
- Equality
- Collaboration
- Tenacity
- Appreciation
- Respect
- Empathy
- Forgiveness
As modern day Suffragettes – female, male and all genders – let us continue the work and spirit of the almighty Suffragettes, fighting the good fight. And let us recognize, honor and celebrate the important and impressive achievements of women globally.
All the Best!
Good Luck.
