Far from being a distorted commercial event, the International Women’s Day is an important date saved in the feminist calendar, with the aim of denouncing the discrimination, inequality and abuse experienced by women. It is a time for reflection and the search for solutions to improve the situation of every woman, while highlighting the progress that has been made.

In line with this year’s theme, we need to promote gender equality in economic and social spheres, in infrastructure, access to credit & finance, and agriculture. Education is one of the ways in which the emancipation of women can be achieved.

Aid programs are more effective when women are involved in development activities, and promoting women’s literacy will accelerate economic growth.

Furthermore, instructing a woman is educating a nation. In other words, providing instruction to girls is the best investment in development that a country can make. To build a better future, let’s invest in women and girls.
