SUMMARY:International Women’s Day
DESCRIPTION:International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also is a day of action in support of taking action against gender inequality around the world. We all know the world couldn’t run without women (we mean, just listen to Beyoncé). This is the day to appreciate their efforts! Organizations large and small come together to show women just how valuable they are in today’s society..\n \nWhy is International Women’s Day important?\nWomen bring creativity and critical services to all levels of society, from the home to the office, laboratory, and boardroom. Yet their achievements and contributions often go overlooked, unacknowledged, or even minimized. Today is a reminder to appreciate those who are typically forgotten or pushed to the side.\n \nHow to observe International Women’s Day\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWomen stand at the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis, as health care workers, caregivers, innovators, community organizers and as some of the most exemplary and effective national leaders in combating the pandemic. The crisis has highlighted both the centrality of their contributions and the disproportionate burdens that women carry.\n\n\n\n\n\n____________________________________________________\n\nTip:\nShow you care: Commit to evenly sharing household chores, parenting responsibilities and other unpaid work. Here are some strategies to get you going:\nStart with a family or household discussion. Identify care needs and domestic responsibilities.\n\nConsider and discuss your strengths when sharing caregiving responsibilities.\nLayout the household activities through a chores roster.\nFrom setting the table to cooking, encourage children of all genders to be involved equally in household chores.\nIf one partner works full-time in the home, recognize and acknowledge the value of their labour.\n\n\n____________________________________________________\nResources\n\n\nPolicy Brief: The Impact of COVID-19 on Women\nGender equality in the 2030 agenda\nUN Women Library\n\n \nReference Sites\n\nUN and other international NGO\nNon-Profits website for the observance\n\n
