Honor History with Pride and Honor Progress: International Women's Day 2024

Mar 20, 2024

The 8th day of March everybody gathers for International Women's Day (IWD). The day serves as a chance to recognize the amazing achievements made by women, reflect on their challenges, and commit our efforts to guarantee the equality of all women. Looking back, it wasn't something that took place in a flash. It's the culmination of years of battle, dedication and undying dedication. We commemorate this day by enticing you to participate you embark on a an uninspiring journey through the lengthy and rich background of IWD and to show that collective action is a powerful and collective action.

Starting with Seeds of Change to a Global Movement

The seeds for IWD were planted towards the start in the 20th century at a time that the struggle for women's rights was gaining momentum. On March 8th in the year 1857, women protested on the streets in protest against the conditions of their work, and inadequate safeguards to women in the profession of making clothing. The strike demanded the cut in working hours, and fair wages for living. In 1908, on March 8th, the march by women who worked in the needle trades was held to protest the child labor system, and conditions of work in sweatshops in addition to requesting women's vote. In the year following, 1910, March 8th became annually observed in the year of International Women's Day.

The catalyst for change

In the 20th century, IWD was a major driver of change. It offered a platform women could utilize to speak their opinions on topics such as the right to vote and equal conditions of work paying and getting the right to education. In 1975, IWD was recognized by the United Nations officially recognized IWD and affirmed its significance globally.

A Day of Celebration and Action

Presently, IWD is celebrated in diverse ways, starting with inspirational marches through intimate celebrations. This is a chance to honor amazing women from all walks of life which range from musicians to researchers to activists and entrepreneurs. But, IWD isn't just about honouring women, but it's also a chance to get involved. It shows that the struggle for gender equality is in the process of being solved. It is essential to keep fighting to ensure equal opportunity in order to debunk stereotypes that are harmful and empower women and girls across the globe. The focus of International Women's Day 2024 is " Invest in Women to make the pace of progress" by using the popular trending hashtag "#InvestInWomen...

Based on the UN Five factors are key to pushing ahead this hashtag until it is at the point of becoming old-fashioned:

investing in women, an issue of the human right:Time is closing in. Equal gender representation is arguably the top human rights issue which affects every person.
Eliminating the cycle of poverty In the wake of the COVID crisis and conflicts over the past 75 million who have been forced to live in extreme poverty by 2001. It is essential that we take action immediately to prevent the more than 342 million girls and young people living in poverty until 2030.
Finance management that are gender-sensitive Price increases and conflict can force 75% of the world's nations to decrease the public budget until 2025. The impact will be detrimental to women, as will those services which are the most important to them.
The shift to a sustainable economic system and the care societyThe present economic system significantly impacts women. Advocates propose a shift to an eco-friendly economy and the care society that can raise the voice of women.
The support of feminist influencers: Despite leading efforts the feminist groups receive just 0.13 percent of the government aid to development.

Beyond the Day

Even though IWD is a major event to women, their fight to achieve gender equality shouldn't be restricted to a single day. Being a company founded on inclusion and empowerment and empowerment, we work to build an environment where women are capable of thriving through the entire year. If that means creating a culture that promotes respect, improving career development, or working with organizations that promote women's rights, our company is determined to being a part of the solution.

Let's all celebrate the stories from the past, feel grateful for the accomplishments that were made, and try towards creating a society in which every person has the chance to achieve the maximum potential that she can achieve.
