Honoring History, Empowering Progress: International Women's Day 2024
Every year on the 8th day of the month, everyone gathers to celebrate International Women's Day (IWD). It's an opportunity to recognize the amazing achievements of women, reflect on the obstacles they face, and to pledge to create an age of equality. It's clear that this day isn't a quick fix celebration. It's the culmination of struggle by perseverance, determination and a steadfast commitment. We are happy about this achievement and welcome you to join us when we embark on an enlightening tour through the fascinating story of IWD which is a shining example of the power of the entire group of people.
Starting with Seeds of Change to a Global Movement
The seeds of IWD were sown during the beginning in the 20th century a time when the fight for women's rights gained momentum. On the 8th day of March in 1857, female employees took to the streets in protest against poor work conditions, as well as substandard conditions for women working in textile industries. The demonstration demanded elimination of working hours, in addition to an equitable as well as reasonable living wage. Then on the 8th of March, an organized march by women workers in the trade of needles was held in protest against child labor, the working conditions at sweatshops as well as to ensure that women had the right to vote. In the following year, 1910, the 8th March became a date to be celebrated in the calendar of International Women's Day.
The Catalyst to Change
Through the 20th century IWD turned into a powerful driver of changes. It provided a platform where women could speak up and talk about issues such as voting rights, the right to fair wage and working conditions and access to education. The year 1975 was the first time IWD received official recognition by IWD was officially recognized in 1975 when The United Nations officially recognized IWD in 1975, which acknowledged the worldwide significance of IWD.
A Day of Celebration and Action
Presently, IWD is celebrated in numerous ways, from inspirational parades to intimate celebrations. It's a time to recognize outstanding women from all walks of life from scientists and artists to entrepreneurs and activists. It's essential to recognize that IWD is not just about celebrating, but it's an opportunity to be proactive. It demonstrates that the fight for equality between genders remains far from being over. It is vital to keep fighting for equality of opportunity as well as to dispel negative stereotypes that hinder women and girls all over the globe. The primary theme of International Women's Day 2024 is " Invest in Women and Accelerating Progress" and is accompanied by the well-known trending hashtag "#InvestInWomen..
Based on an analysis of the UN Five domains is the primary aspect in pushing the hashtag to the point of being obsolete:
- investment in women is among the rights of human beings concerns:Time is running out. The issue of gender equality is by far the biggest human rights challenge, benefiting everyone.
- Ending poverty: Due to the COVID outbreak and the ongoing conflict in the region over 75 million people live in extreme poverty as of the year 2020. It is crucial to act immediately to alleviate the suffering of the over 342 million women and girls who are living in extreme poverty by 2030.
- Financing that is gender-sensitive: Conflicts and rising costs could cause 75 percent of countries to reduce their spending on public services up to 2025. The impact will be negative for women and the assistance they require.
- Transitioning to a more sustainable society and economy:The present economic system is a major influence on women. They advocate for a change to green economy and a caring society which increases the voices of women.
- The backing of feminist activists: Despite leading efforts the women's groups receive just 0.13 percent of aid to the development of their organization.
