International Women's Day, which is observed on March 8 every year, honors the remarkable women who have contributed to society regardless of national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic, or political divides.
According to Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, 'the 2024 theme, “Invest in women: Accelerate Progress,” highlights the importance of gender equality, women's and girls' empowerment, and their rights to healthier lives.'
Women form the foundation of families, from being an infant, a daughter, a friend, a partner, and a mother. They are crucial to children's maturing because they give their families love, support, and care. In addition, women are important contributors to community development and frequently assume leadership positions in local organizations.
Women's empowerment and the promotion of gender equality are essential for the development of a just and equitable society. Empowering women leads to improved health outcomes, increased economic growth, and poverty reduction. However, women continue to face numerous challenges that hinder their ability to contribute fully to society. (Ayesha Fawad, 2023)
The empowerment of females possesses an incredible ability to create change. Women are showcasing their creativity, different skills, a more imaginative point of view, and high confidence that builds their effective leadership skills. They may address issues and encourage other women to do the same by bringing diverse perspectives to the table.
So, she is a believer, she is a dreamer, she is a doer, she is an achiever, and she is YOU! Happy International Women's Day! Thank you for being the woman you are.
