International Women's Day (IWD) is around the corner, and this year, March 8th will mark its hundred and eleventh anniversary. With a theme of Gender Equality for a Sustainable Tomorrow, this year, the world will celebrate Women's Day to recognize the efforts and dedication of women in every nook and cranny who took charge for climate change adaptation, mitigation, and response to secure a sustainable future for all.
In today’s world, women play a crucial role in a variety of fields, from scientific development and literature to financing and fierce competition in the social and economic fabric of dependency and poverty. Effective women empowerment includes a much larger set of rules, including effective participation in different development programs, and encouraging them to be independent and self-confident, to meet the challenges of living in a patriarchal society with courage and self-respect. Individual reinforcement can only be achieved if the individual can make decisions alone.
Those working and striving with development initiatives understand the significance of investing in women's empowerment. It is no secret for the world that achieving Gender Equality for Sustainable Development includes appropriate actions and statistics unconditionally dedicated to gender parity.
