CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

Today is an amazing day, it's the 8th of march and today is marked as the international Women's Day.

It's a day to shine the light on the women who have contributed to society with their hard work and resilience.

A Woman's Worth. She gives life. She is a wife. She is a mother, she is a friend. She is a sister, she is a survivor to the end.

She works, cooks and cleans. She laughs, helps comfort, and hides her pain.

She is a hero. Against all odds..

It’s a day to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.

It is also an opportunity to consider how to accelerate the 2030 Agenda, building momentum for the effective implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, especially goal number 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls; and number 4: Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.

Some key targets of the 2030 Agenda:

By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and Goal-4 effective learning outcomes.

• By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and preprimary education so that they are ready for primary education.
• End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere.
• Eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation.
• Eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation.
