Women & girls represent half of the world’s population, yet, no country has achieved gender equality. At the current rate of progress, it would take close to 300 years for women & girls to have the same rights & protections as men.
But it doesn't have to be this way. From speaking up and engaging in constructive conversations, to knowing your rights and sharing the care, each of us can take action to help achieve
#GenerationEquality.
"Let us work together – across governments, the private sector and civil society – to build a more inclusive, just, and prosperous world for women, girls, men, and boys everywhere," said
#UnitedNations Secretary-General antonioguterres.
On Wednesday’s
#InternationalWomensDay, join UN Women in supporting women and girls, defying gender roles, fighting gender-based violence & standing up for equality.
