International Women's Day is a date recognised by the UN, celebrated on March 8, and has its roots in the 20th century women's struggles for better working conditions, political rights and social equality. German activist Clara Zetkin was one of those responsible for making the date official, proposed in 1910 at the Second International Conference of Socialist Women.

Despite significant advances in recent decades, gender inequality is still a reality. Although we have made progress compared to the past, the numbers still show that gender equality is far from being achieved. 

This year "Accelerate Action" is a call for urgency, inclusion, and transformative change. It signals that equality cannot wait, and that all sectors of society must work together to quicken the pace of progress for women’s rights and empowerment. It was not only Covid, that affected women disproportionately but also the oncoming swing of America as well as many European countries to the right, which sadly also affects women negatively as well as disproportionally.

International Women's Day, therefore, should not be treated just as a commemorative date, but rather as a moment of reflection and action.
