It's time for the world to
accelerate gender parity
It's time for the world to accelerate gender parity
International Women's Day (IWD) is March 8, 2016
and the theme is Pledge For Parity
Let's all celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. But let's also be aware that progress towards gender parity has actually slowed in many places around the world, so urgent concrete action is needed to accelerate gender parity.

The World Economic Forum estimates that a slowdown in the already glacial pace of progress means that it will take until 2133 for the world to entirely
close the economic gender gap
. On International Women's Day each of us can commit to taking a specific action and together help accelerate the achievement of gender parity worldwide.
