Every year on the 8th of March, we join the rest of the world to commemorate International Women’s Day (IWD). This day was originally created to promote the rights of women and girls and eliminate any forms of discrimination against them. While we acknowledge the progress made since the original commemoration in 1911, a lot still needs to be accomplished, if we are to create a sustainable future for women and girls. This year’s theme “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment”, reminds us of the inter-connectedness of these 3 fundamental principles. Notably, rights are the foundation upon which equality is built while equality is essential for empowerment to happen i.e. availing the socio-economic services (such as education, healthcare, leadership and economic opportunities), the productive resources and the opportunities for men, women, boys and girls to thrive. Additionally, the theme calls for us all to rally behind women, particularly young women and adolescent girls, break the chains of discrimination and create a future where everybody has equal rights, power and opportunities to thrive….
