What would the world be like without women for even one day?

Women represent the fairer sex because in each person's heart there is always a special part reserved for the women they love the most.

International Women's Day, March 8, has become a global holiday to celebrate the great contributions of women and the progress of humanity. In his message on International Women's Day, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres praised the noble values ​​and important role of women in social life.

In today's unstable world, women suffer disadvantages and discrimination due to heavy prejudices and outdated concepts about gender and religion.

Therefore, on this special day, the United Nations calls on everyone to further empower women and girls for the progress of humanity. Because this is the only way to protect them and help them fully develop their potential and self-worth.

“Women’s rights are human rights, no matter the continent. It is time to change outdated gender stereotypes by empowering women and girls, making their voices heard. Let’s give women control over their lives.

Because women are the future of the world. Gender equality will help us achieve the millennium goals such as combating climate change, eliminating poverty and violence. Please join us in taking action for the advancement of women,” said Mr. Guterres.

Secretary-General Guterres pledged that the United Nations will continue to develop a clear roadmap of standards to achieve a gender-equal society. If gender equality was previously seen as a nice idea, it must now be transformed into a specific goal and policy for action.

In response to International Women's Day on March 8 this year, many exciting activities took place in many places around the world to praise and honor the beauty and value of modern women.

Speaking at an event to celebrate and receive a prestigious award for women on March 8 in New York City, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shared that it was women who gave her inspiration and strength in the recent arduous race to the White House.

“Thank you to all my friends, family and people in the area who have supported, encouraged and shared the ups and downs of life with me. After all that has happened, I am now back to a normal life.

The love, enthusiasm and youthfulness of the girls inspire me to work every day. You guys, consider failures as great experiences to help you be more resilient in life," said Mrs. Clinton.

This year, the International Feminist Organization is calling on women around the world to turn March 8 into “No Women Day.” This slogan means women spend a day doing nothing, including shopping, and wearing red together to show solidarity.

The purpose of this campaign is to show people what the world would be like if there were no women for even one day. And the message that Malala Yousafzai, the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize winner, sent on March 8 this year to all women in the world is: “Don’t wait for others to stand up and speak for you. You are the one who can change the world.”
