Happy International Women’s Day!
Today we are celebrating all women worldwide, thank you for your contributions and for bringing so much happiness to our lives.
We are especially grateful to the wonderful women who make our movement possible.
Thank you to all our volunteers, course leaders, expert speakers, those who share the calendar or inspire others, and everyone who takes any action for happiness however big or small.
Thank you for choosing to centre joy, care and wellbeing and thank you for building a happier, kinder world.
Here is a link to a playlist where you can catch up on all the expert women speakers from our live events: https://t.co/5VCAfWpzIE
This year the UN theme is “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls”, and it calls for action to dismantle all barriers to equal justice: discriminatory laws, weak legal protections, and harmful practices and social norms that erode the rights of women and girls.
The UN found that in nearly 70 per cent of surveyed countries, women face more barriers accessing justice than men. 44% of countries do not have laws that guarantee equal pay. 3 in 4 countries still permit child marriage cutting short childhoods, education and futures.
We celebrate the women’s movement worldwide and we are grateful to our supporters for choosing equality.
