Topic Description:

Every year on March 8, the world observes International Women’s Day... The purpose is to reflect on the progress made by women in different fields.... to celebrate the acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in history... and to call for action to bring about the necessary change towards gender equality...
The theme set by the United Nations for International Women's Day this year is - Think equal, build smart, innovate for change... with a thrust on working towards creating a gender-balanced society.
According to the Global Gender Gap Report, it will take more than 200 years for economic gender equality to emerge, and 108 years to completely close the global gender gap across politics, health and education.
