International Women’s Day Celebrated globally today
On March 8, people across the globe celebrate International Women’s Day in recognition of the remarkable contributions and accomplishments of women from every walk of life.
The day is globally celebrated every year with different themes, and this year’s theme is “Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow.”
In her statement for International Women’s Day, United Nations Women Executive Director Sima Bahous said that the UN celebrates the power and potential of women and girls and recognises their courage, resilience and leadership.
“We mark the ways in which we are making progress towards a more gender-equal world. At the same time, we see how that progress is being undermined by multiple, interlocking, and compounding generational crises, “the statement read.
The UN first celebrated International Women’s Day during International Women’s Year in 1975.
The most noteworthy of these events will be the Aurat March 2022, which will be held in major cities in Pakistan.
The main event will be held at Jinnah Park, opposite Mazar-e-Quaid, Karachi, where the March first started in 2018.
Aa gaya hai din azaadi ka!
