Congratulations to all the Fearless Women out there on this International Women’s Day.
International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for gender parity. This includes equal pay for equal work. Education for women is also a focus of the day.
The first International Women’s Day gathering was in 1911. It was supported by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Prior to this other groups campaigned for women’s equality. These groups included the Socialist Party of America as well as United Kingdom’s Suffragists and Suffragettes.
In 2019, the theme of International Women’s Day was Balance is Better. The direction – Let’s build a gender-balanced world
Balance is not a women’s issue, it’s a business issue. This is important for a gender-balanced boardroom and a gender-balanced government. We are also looking a gender-balance in media coverage both news and sports. Gender-balance is also vital in terms of employee coverage in business. Gender-balance in wealth is another important fpcus.
The bottom line is that gender balance is essential for economies and communities to thrive
