Honouring the past, empowering progress: International Women's Day 2024

Mar 27, 2024

Every year, on March 8 the entire world gathers for a celebration known as International Women's Day (IWD). It is an opportunity to acknowledge the accomplishments of women and reflect on their challenges and recommit ourselves to the world in which women are equally treated. Looking at our past and acknowledging that it didn't happen with one click. It was the culmination of hard work, strength and perseverance. We are proud of the day and we encourage everyone to take a a brief journey through the rich history and culture of IWD as a testimony to that collective effort.

Start with planting Seeds of Change to a Global Movement

The seed of IWD were planted during the first half of 20th century. This was the time when women's rights were taken off. On the 8th of March, 1857, women took to the streets in protest against the conditions at work which did not meet the standards and inadequate rights women had in their trade of clothing. The strike demanded cutting of work hours as well as a the payment of a decent living wage. The 8th March was the protest was led by women who worked in the needle trade organized to fight child labor as well as the conditions in sweatshops, and demanded the right of women to exercise their right to vote. Two years later, following the march, March 8th was the first day being celebrated each year as International Women's Day.

The Catalyst for Change

The 20th century saw IWD could have a profound transformative influence. It evolved into a platform on which women were able to speak up and express their opinion on concerns like voting rights, equal working conditions, decent wages as well as the right to have the opportunity to learn. In 1975, in 1975 IWD was declared an legitimate cause by the United Nations officially recognized IWD and emphasized its significance for everyone around the globe.

A Day of Celebration and Action

Presently, IWD is celebrated in many ways, from inspirational marches to intimate celebrations. It is an opportunity to celebrate women of distinction across all fields including the sciences and arts to entrepreneurs and activists. It's not just about celebrating women of distinction. IWD is not just an occasion to be able to rejoice and celebrate, it's also an opportunity for you to participate. It's a reminder that the struggle to get equality for women and girls is in the process of being achieved. The world must keep pushing for equality in opportunities and also challenge damaging stereotypes and stand up for girls and women all over the world. The theme for International Women's Day 2024 is " Invest in Women to accelerate the pace of development" and the well-known trending hashtag "#InvestInWomen...

A ode towards The UN The UN Five elements are vital in order to continue pushing this tagline, which is getting old-fashioned:

  • investing in women's rights as an individual human being issues:Time is running out. Women's equality is the primary human rights issue that affects everyone.
  • Stopping this cycle In the wake of COVID epidemic and the conflict that has erupted within those 75 million are suffering from extreme poverty at the time of writing. It is imperative to act immediately in order to prevent over 342 million females and girls being in poverty by 2030.
  • Financing that's gender sensitive: Conflicts and rising cost could cause 75% of nations to cut public expenditure to 2025. This will have a negative impact for women as well as the most essential services.
  • Moving towards an eco-friendly and compassionate societyThe current economic climate disproportionately has a negative impact on women. The campaign advocates for a sustainable and inclusive society, to increase the voice of women.
  • Helping women to be the changemakers: Despite leading efforts women's organizations are receiving only 0.13 percent of the official aid for development.

Beyond the Day

While IWD is an important day, the goal to achieve justice and equality for all women shouldn't be confined to one single day. Since we're a business that is based on inclusion, empowerment and fairness, we strive to ensure women have the opportunity to excel in every day. We're determined to create an environment that promotes respect, personal growth as well as women's rights. We're determined to be an integral component in the solutions.
