As Salam..
March 8th..is TODAY!!
The UN theme for International Women's Day 2013 is "A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women,"
International Women's Day 2013 has declared the year's theme as The Gender Agenda: Gaining Momentum.
P/S:
The new millennium has witnessed a significant change and attitudinal
shift in both women's and society's thoughts about women's equality and
emancipation. Many from a younger generation feel that 'all the battles
have been won for women' while many feminists from the 1970's know only
too well the longevity and ingrained complexity of patriarchy. With more
women in the boardroom, greater equality in legislative rights, and an
increased critical mass of women's visibility as impressive role models
in every aspect of life, one could think that women have gained true
equality. The unfortunate fact is that women are still not paid equally
to that of their male counterparts, women still are not present in equal
numbers in business or politics, and globally women's education, health
and the violence against them is worse than that of men.
So make a difference, think globally and act locally !! Make everyday
International Women's Day. Do your bit to ensure that the future for
girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.
