Happy International Women’s Day – Here’s The Official Theme

Women are half the world’s population, but are under-represented and underpaid in the world’s workplaces. They should work out what they are passionate about and support the women in their communities to actualise their dreams. The gender pay gap has narrowed by about five percentage points from 24.8% in 2016. This year for IWD as well as the 62nd session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW62), Ms Bhagwan-Rolls said their focus as a women-led community media organisation is “Women using technology to advance agency, advocacy, capacity & peace”. We can not afford to wait that long.

In spite of a strong and growing body of evidence to suggest that gender diversity is of direct benefit to business performance, for example, women remain under-represented in senior management and on boards.

One of my favorite parts of Women’s Month is celebrating strong women that I know from my personal life. “Rural women are also more exposed to the adverse impacts of climate change like cyclones and droughts”.

More than a billion women around the world lack legal protection against domestic sexual violence. We’ve just had a few female additions to the team, which is great.

Two out of five parents feel feminism is not relevant to their child’s future wellbeing – increasing to nearly half of fathers.

The report, released to coincide with International Women’s Day and two years out from the final of the ICC Women’s World T20 2020, takes its name from the theme for International Women’s Day 2018, Press for Progress, which calls for each of us to think, act and be gender inclusive. As Canadians, we have a responsibility to hold them to account for their promises around gender equality, such as combating gender-based violence and supporting survivors and improving the economic security and prosperity of Indigenous women.
