About International Women’s Day
In 1977 the UN declared March 8 International Women’s Day with the objective of vindicating work for women’s rights and promoting their participation in different areas of society for their emancipation. The date commemorates the 129 textile workers at the Cotton factory in New York, United States, who died in 1857 as a result of a fire while striking to improve their working conditions.
The UN motto for this year is “Investing in women: accelerating progress”which takes this issue to highlight the lack of sufficient economic resources in gender matters. “Achieving gender equality and the well-being of women in all areas is more crucial than ever if we want to generate prosperous economies and achieve a healthy planet”highlighted the UN for
