With
the World Economic Forum's 2017 Global Gender Gap Report findings
telling us that gender parity is over 200 years away - there has never been a
more important time to keep motivated and #PressforProgress. And
with global activism for women's equality fuelled by movements like #MeToo, #TimesUp and
more - there is a strong global momentum striving for gender parity.
And
while we know that gender parity won't happen overnight, the good news is that
across the world women are making positive gains day by day. Plus, there's
indeed a very strong and growing global movement of advocacy, activism and
support.
So we
can't be complacent. Now, more than ever, there's a strong call-to-action to
press forward and progress gender parity. A strong call to #PressforProgress. A
strong call to motivate and unite friends, colleagues and whole communities to
think, act and be gender inclusive.
International
Women's Day is not country, group or organisation specific. The day belongs to
all groups collectively everywhere. So together, let's all be tenacious in
accelerating gender parity. Collectively, let's all Press for Progress
IWD
CAMPAIGN THEME CONTINUES ALL YEAR
March 8
sees the annual IWD campaign theme kick off for the year ahead, although many
groups around the world adopt and promote the campaign theme from early in the
year. The IWD campaign theme provides a unified direction to guide and
galvanize collective action. The campaign theme does not end on International
Women's Day. It's just the start. Throughout the year many groups worldwide
adopt the IWD campaign theme for further campaign work, gender-focused
initiatives, continuing activity and events. A great example of this was in
2017 when the USA Women's Hockey Team went on to adopt the #BeBoldForChange IWD
campaign theme to later rally for equal pay,
boycotting the national finals unless a suitable deal was struck. Many fans and further teams supported the
campaign.
