The United Nations observance on 8 March will reflect on how to accelerate the 2030 Agenda, building momentum for the effective implementation of the new Sustainable Development Goals. It will equally focus on new commitments under UN Women\u2019s Step It Up initiative, and other existing commitments on gender equality, women\u2019s empowerment and women\u2019s human rights.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>About IWD<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations began celebrating International Women\u2019s Day (IWD) on 8 March during International Women\u2019s Year 1975. Two years later, in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women\u2019s Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and national traditions.<\/p>\n<p>International Women\u2019s Day first emerged from the activities of labour movements at the turn of the twentieth century in North America and across Europe. Since those early years, International Women\u2019s Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women\u2019s movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations women\u2019s conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point to build support for women\u2019s rights and participation in the political and economic arenas.<\/p>\n<p>Increasingly, International Women\u2019s Day is a time 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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"newstxt\">The 2016 theme for International Women\u2019s Day is \u201cPlanet 50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality\u201d.
