Equal Rights



The theme for International Women's Day this year is "Equal rights, equal opportunities: Progress for all" highlights that equal rights and opportunities tip to developed health results for women and girls.
Gender-based insight is forever related to negative health results for women and girls. Its connected poor health results are frequently compounded by other forms of inequality related to socioeconomic status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation or geographical location. While these challenges are imposing, and often encoded in "normalized" ways of living, International Women's Day restarts our pledge to criticize violations in human rights and to test unequal systems, structures and practices that preserve health differences across the world.
This year, the United Nations emphases attention on the fact that the respect of women’s rights and the guarantee of opportunities tip to significant advances in social and economic development. Correspondingly, development studies over and over show that financing in women has a high return to enlightening livelihoods, improving access to education for children and health for all, and reducing poverty in general terms thus making an impact on overall national economic and social development.
