About IWD

The International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.

The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women’s achievements or rally for women’s equality.

Marked annually on March 8th, IWD is said to be one of the most important days of the year to:

• Celebrate women’s achievements
• Educate and awareness raise about women’s equality
• Call for positive change advancing women
• Lobby for accelerated gender parity
• Fundraise for women-focused charities.

Earlier, diasporadigitalmedia.com, reported that this year IWD campaign focuses on the need to Accelerate Action.

According to World Economic Forum (WEF), the current rate of progress will take until 2158, which is roughly five generations from now, to reach full gender parity.

This calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres.
