International women’s Day is celebrated every year on 8th March, recognizing and appreciating women’s Political, Economic and Social achievements over the decades. Women’s Day was first observed in 1909 in the United States and it is only in 1977 that the United Nation officially declared International Women’s Day celebration on 8th March every year. An event which started as a political affair has evolved over the years and is now celebrated by gifting flowers, greetings cards and gifts to women in most regions. International women’s Day is also an official holiday in several countries like Belarus , Armenia, Albania, Brazil and Cameron.
On this occasion we should endeavour building a better world where men and women live harmoniously free of violence and discrimination. It is indeed very special day for women where they are glorified to a point of being honoured, awarded and appreciated then why is that after so much awareness and acknowledgement of a women’s contribution to life, society family and work she is still is considered only second to men and treated like a second rate citizen? This is because for generations it has been ingrained among women that they are not capable of doing most things. Women Empowerment lies honouring yourself and treating with respect “No can put you down without your Permission”.
On this special day I would like to say empowering women is very necessary to bring gender equality or we can say that gender equality is very necessary to empower women. Gender equality is the first step to bring women empowerment.
Women are not made not only to handle household chores , or take responsibility of home and family. Men too need to understand their responsibility of home and family and all other works women do, so that women can get some time to think about their strengths and abilities , and move towards a world of empowerment.
On this International women’s Day let us all Promise to create a better world to live in.
