Please join us in celebrating International Women’s Day. Observed on March 8th of each year, this year’s United Nation’s theme is “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls” and the International Women’s Day theme is “Give to Gain” focusing on reciprocal action to make gains on gender equity. Celebrated for the first time in 1911, this year is the 115th Anniversary of IWD. The goalposts for achieving gender equity seem to continually move further onto the horizon, with the IWG now suggesting that, at the current pace, gender equity will not be achieved until 2158, and to date no aspect of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #5 on gender equality has been achieved, with the 2030 target for addressing the SDGs rapidly approaching.
