International Women’s day. March 8th. Its story is fascinating, and I suggest you read it here. The UN began celebrating the International Day in 1975, which was designated International Women’s Year. Over the decades it has morphed from recognizing the achievements of women to becoming a rallying point to build support for women’s rights and participation, in the political and economic arenas. (www.un.org). Every year the UN choose a theme and this year is: ‘Think equal, build smart, innovate for change‘. The focus of the theme is on innovative ways in which to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women, particularly in the areas of social protection systems, access to public services and sustainable infrastructure.
Having said all that… let’s listen to some music…
… and have a wonderful day!
while you're ahead...
