INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY: A TIME
FOR CELEBRATION MIXED WITH REALISM
www.huffingtonpost.com - Today is the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day (IWD) with events taking place all over the world. This global celebration honors women’s success, and reminds of inequities that still need to be redressed. In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women’s Day is a national holiday. In the USA, President Obama proclaimed March 2011 as “Women’s History Month” calling Americans to mark IWD by reflecting on “the extraordinary accomplishments of women in shaping the country’s history.” We can celebrate the launch of UN Women, the UN body for gender equality and the empowerment of women, but we have to be realistic about the patchy progress in embedding gender concerns into development initiatives, and in promoting women’s economic, political and social empowerment.
