Happy International Women's Day 2025!
On this celebration of all women around the world, we should take a moment to reflect on the progress that has been made in women's rights, and celebrate the freedoms that many women around the world experience everyday!
Progress on women’s rights
In knowing and pushing forward for progress, there is hope.
For 89 per cent of governments, ending violence against women is a top priority today, and 193 countries have legal measures against it.
Data shows that countries with domestic violence laws have seen less cases of violence against women.
Most of the world has reached parity in education. By bridging the gender gap in accessing and shaping science and technology, we clear the remaining bottlenecks to equal opportunities and create technology that serves more people and the planet.
More States have strengthened care services and 32 per cent of countries globally now promote better pay and safe working conditions for care workers.
There are 112 countries with a national plan to engage women in peace and security processes – a significant increase from 19 countries in 2010.
Taken from UN Women - this is a beautiful sign of the advancements and hope that we can hold onto as we move into the rest of this year - and an encouragement to keep on continuing to advocate for further progress to be had by 2026!
The theme for this year is: Rights. Equality. Empowerment
ILaED has worked hard across multiple projects to push for empowerment through aiding women to become financially independent, start their own businesses and learn a trade.
Through this, we support and champion equality and women's rights - continually pushing for advancement and modernization across the globe.
Have a wonderful women's day and we thank you for your continual support towards us on into this next year!
