International Women's Day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women yet progress has slowed in many places around the world. Therefore, global action is absolutely required to accelerate gender parity. United Nations established key targets in this year's agenda:
- By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and Goal-4 effective learning outcomes.
- By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and preprimary education so that they are ready for primary education.
- End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere.
- Eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation.
- Eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation.
We all possess the power to change the world. Let's do it together. #InternationalWomensDay

For those yet to hear, we open our hearts
For those that feel weak, we are strong in the grace”
