International women’s day

International women’s day is celebrated every year on the 8 th of

March

It is a time when the world stands up and takes notice of the often

neglected and ignored womankind.

This day is also a time to reflect upon the progress made by women, and to call for changes along with

celebrating the acts of determination and bravery by ordinary women who play an extraordinary role in the

history of their countries and communities.

The main idea behind celebrating women’s day is to accelerate the 2030 Agenda

and to build momentum of the new Sustainable Development Goals especially goal number 5 which is to achieve gender equality and empower all women and

girls and number 4 which is to ensure inclusive and quality education for women while promoting lifelong

learning.

The focus is also on new commitments under the initiative of the UN which is known as Step It Up

Initiative.

Let us look at some of the key targets of the 2030 Agenda, which the world

community aims to achieve by the year 2030

education which in turn will lead to gender equality, empowerment of women leading to the effective

learning outcomes of goal 4
