Together for equality: International Women's Day 2024

Today is March 8th – International Women's Day! A day to celebrate the achievements of women and at the same time raise awareness of the inequalities that still exist.

A look back:

International Women's Day has a long and combative history. Its roots go back to 1908, when women workers in New York City protested for better working conditions and equal pay. In the following years, the day developed into a global symbol for the fight for gender equality.

A lot has been achieved, but there is still a lot to do:

Since 1911, International Women's Day has been celebrated every year on March 8th. During this time, women have made great strides. For example, in many countries they have the right to vote, access to education and employment, and hold important positions in politics and business.

Despite these achievements, equality is far from being achieved. Women still earn less than men in many areas, are more often affected by poverty, and experience violence and discrimination.

Together for a better future:

International Women's Day 2024 is therefore an important occasion to reflect on the challenges that still exist and to work together for a better future.

What can we do?

Inform and sensitize: Knowledge about the inequalities between men and women is the first step towards change.
Show commitment: Support organizations that are committed to women's rights.
Address discrimination: If you witness discrimination, speak up and show courage.
Be a role model: Be a role model for others and live equality in everyday life.
Together we can make a difference! Let's use International Women's Day 2024 to make a statement for equality and justice.
