International Women's Day 2016 (March 8). IWD 2016 campaign theme #PledgeForParity
Hi dearest readrers and followers ;)
Worldwide, women continue to contribute to social,
economic, cultural and political achievement.
And we have much to celebrate today. But progress
towards gender parity has slowed in many places.
The World Economic Forum predicted in 2014 that it would take until 2095 to achieve
global gender parity. Then one year later in 2015, they estimated that a slowdown in the already
glacial pace of progress meant the gender gap wouldn't
close entirely until 2133.
So
how do we want to celebrate International Women's Day 2016?
We say by Pledging For Parity!
Everyone - men and women - can pledge to take a
concrete step to help achieve gender parity more quickly - whether to help
women and girls achieve their ambitions, call for gender-balanced leadership,
respect and value difference, develop more inclusive and flexible cultures or
root out workplace bias. Each of us can be a leader within our own spheres of
influence and commit to take pragmatic action to accelerate gender parity.
Commit
to take action to accelerate gender parity
Globally, with individuals pledging to move from talk
to purposeful action - and with men and women joining forces - we can
collectively help women advance equal to their numbers and realize the
limitless potential they offer economies the world over. We have urgent work to
do. Are you ready to accelerate gender parity?
