Happy International Women’s Day to all the powerful, beautiful, & strong women
International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8 every year, which symbolizes the historic journey women around the world have taken to better their lives. Women of the world want and deserve an equal future free from stigma, stereotypes, and violence; a future that’s sustainable, peaceful, with equal rights and opportunities for all. To get us there, the world needs women at every table where decisions are being made. This year, the UN theme for International Women’s Day (8 March), “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world,” celebrates the tremendous efforts by women and girls around the world in shaping a more equal future and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights the gaps that remain.
The theme highlights the impact that girls and women worldwide had as health care workers, caregivers, innovators, and community organizers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The other theme & hashtag being used for this year’s International Women’s Day is #ChooseToChallenge which indicates that a “challenged world is an alert world, and from challenge comes change”. This year, we can all choose to challenge everything that has been holding us back and become better allies.
