The 2020 International Women's Day will focus on the theme 'An equal world is an enabled world.' The unique social media hashtag for this year’s International Women’s Day is #EachForEqual. It is an important reminder that gender inequality isn’t a women’s issue, but an economic one – that gender equality is essential for countries and communities to thrive.
This year’s #EachForEqual campaign highlights six key areas:
1. Championing women forging tech innovation
2. Applauding equality for women athletes
3. Forging inclusive workplaces so women thrive
4. Supporting women to earn on their own terms
5. Empowering women through health education
6. Increasing visibility for female creatives
For all of us at ScooNews, every day is Women’s Day. And why not, a woman who is the creator of all life on this earth deserves more than a day to celebrate herself. We believe that every day should be dedicated to her sacrifices, challenges and above all, her achievements. Read on to get inspired by the words of some of the most celebrated leaders who said it best.
