This week we’re celebrating International Women’s Day! Held on March 8, this is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, while helping to forge a gender-equal world.
According to UN Women, the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women, ‘the achievement of gender equality would have enormous socio-economic ramifications worldwide. Empowering women fuels thriving economies, spurring productivity and growth.’
In all societies, when women are allowed access to education and healthcare, are free from violence and discrimination, and lead and participate in work and government, everyone benefits. Countries that have the highest equality score are typically more economically successful and also score highest on the happiness scale.
Happier and richer — that seems like something we can all get behind!
