International Women’s Day 2020

International Women's Day 2020

International Women’s Day 2020, which is celebrated on the 8th of March every year, is dedicated to all the women around the world, regardless of what they do or the choices they make.

Women’s rights and gender equality are taking centre stage in 2020.

International Women’s Day: Significance and Importance

We have touched upon and crossed over the path of modernity and technological advancement, but we still lack in understanding the basic concepts of gender equality and continue to believe in societal stereotypes and prejudices. One may argue that things have changed and women have started to succeed everywhere but one cannot deny that there’s still a considerable number of women who are unacknowledged for the work they do.
International Women’s Day endorses the need and necessity to knowledge every woman in every aspect of life, be it in the household or in the public domain. A housewife needs the same acknowledgement as the working man and the business woman should be given the same amount of salary as the business man because talent and efficiency goes beyond gender and one cannot differentiate on its basis.

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day (8 March) is, “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights”.

The Generation Equality campaign is bringing together people of every gender, age, ethnicity, race, religion and country, to drive actions that will create the gender-equal world we all deserve.

Together, we want to mobilize to end gender-based violence; we are calling for economic justice and rights for all; bodily autonomy, sexual and reproductive health and rights; and feminist action for climate justice. We want technology and innovation for gender equality; and feminist leadership.

Small actions can have big impacts in making this vision a reality. On International Women’s Day, join #GenerationEquality and become part of the movement.

Indian Govt. 7 Steps on International Women’s Day

 Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that he would hand over control of all his social media accounts to “inspiring” women for a day.

He, in fact tweeted: “This Women’s Day, I will give away my social media accounts to women whose life and work inspire us. This will help them ignite motivation in millions.”

Urging all women to share their stories so they can take control of his social media accounts for a day, he added: “Are you such a woman or do you know such inspiring women? Share such stories using #SheInspiresUs.”
