Statement for International Women’s Day by Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka
In her statement for International Women’s Day (8 March), UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka highlights 2020 as the year for gender equality and calls on everyone to tackle the persistent barriers against gender equality.
HISTORY
“After the Socialist Party of America organized a Women’s Day in New York City on February 28, 1909, German revolutionary Clara Zetkin proposed at the 1910 International Socialist Woman’s Conference that 8 March be honored as a day annually in memory of working women.” Source.
UNWomen.org tells us, “Twenty-five years since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action — a progressive roadmap for gender equality — it’s time to take stock of progress and bridge the gaps that remain through bold, decisive actions.” Source
This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is
“I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights”.
The Women of the United Nations continue, “The Generation Equality campaign is bringing together people of every gender, age, ethnicity, race, religion and country, to drive actions that will create the gender-equal world we all deserve.” Source
“Together, we want to mobilize to end gender-based violence; we are calling for economic justice and rights for all; bodily autonomy, sexual and reproductive health and rights; and feminist action for climate justice. We want technology and innovation for gender equality; and feminist leadership.” Source
“Small actions can have big impacts in making this vision a reality. On International Women’s Day, join #GenerationEquality and become part of the movement.” Source.
