INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

Happy Women’s day to one and all! Today is a special day for all the feminists throughout the world. The theme for IWD2020 is Each For Equal. Celebrating this day is a step towards achieving gender parity, but it stands unacknowledged unless we understand the significance of this day. Today is the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the ‘most visionary agenda for women’s rights and empowerment everywhere’.

This campaign supports forging inclusive workplaces so women thrive, encouraging women to earn on their own terms, empowering them through health education and increasing visibility for female creatives. Everyone might have different ways of celebrating this day and each of them is unique and ingenious in its own way, as long as we respect the motive of the day. While this day is a way of marking and commemorating women’s struggle for equality, it is extremely important that we make each day equivalent to women’s day. In this sense, each day women must be treated as equals to men, and their ideas, wishes, needs must be given the same importance as those of men.

The theme for this year, Each For Equal aims to bring together ‘people of every gender, age, ethnicity, race, religion and country’. Equality must not be stained with the such differences. All of us strive to live in a world where we and our loved ones are treated all as equals. And that is not possible as long as we do not treat everyone as equals, ourselves.
