International Women's Day, celebrated on March 8, 2023, emphasizes the need to accelerate efforts towards achieving gender equality. With the theme highlighting the urgency of dismantling systemic barriers women face, the day coincides with Women's History Month, focusing on women's contributions to history and society. Despite progress, significant challenges remain, as evidenced by statistics, such as the gender pay gap where women earn approximately 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. Additionally, the concept of 'mental load' illustrates the unseen cognitive labor women carry, which can detrimentally impact their mental health and career opportunities.
According to the World Economic Forum, at the current rate of progress, it will take until 2158 to reach full gender parity.
The theme this year focuses on the need to accelerate action emphasizing the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality.
