International Women’s Day: Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress

Discrimination against women is present across cultures. Even though many agree that women in leadership roles bring equity and compassion in addition to efficiency and help societies become more just, the number of women occupying leadership positions is less than 30%. What we need is to celebrate women for what they are. Take action for equality. Let it begin with you, at your home, workplace, and the society in which you live. International Women's Day (March 8) is a global UN observation.
