International Women’s Day on March 8th each year celebrates the social, economic, and political achievements of women around the world. The day also brings international awareness to gender parity. According to the World Economic Forum, global gender equality is estimated to be achieved by 2133.
Gender equality is equal access to the same rights and opportunities regardless of gender. These rights and opportunities include:
- Healthcare
- Education
- Employment / Economic Gain
- Pay
- Protection under the law
- Right to vote
- Free from violence
International Women’s Day origins can be traced back to the early 1900s when women became more politically active. They took an invested and vocal role in steering their course toward voting rights, fair pay, improved working conditions, and representation under the law.
The theme of 2022 International Women's Day is "Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow".
