Beginning on the eight day, the month of March is now celebrated globally, nationally and locally as International Women’s Day. It is both joyous and sombre as a day symbolic of the historic journey women all over have taken to better and take control of their lives.
It is also a reminder that while there have been achievements, the struggle is a long and often lonely one, and more needs to be done by society and the state to realise gender equality and women’s empowerment today. This years’ thematic campaign, #ChooseToChallenge, reminds us that it is time to say that “This is not just a celebration of what women have achieved but also a time to take stock of what still has to be done.”
