Investing in women emphasises on ensuring women's and girls' rights across all aspects of life to secure a healthy planet for future generations. International Women's Day takes on a global dimension, boosting the growing international women's movement, strengthened by four global United Nations women's conferences, a rallying point to build support for women's rights and participation in the social, political, and economic environment.
Women have set records in nearly every industry and area of life as they tread with efficiency and equity. Their journeys become motivational and universal, and they 'inspire inclusion' in its true sense.
Today, women are breaking down barriers and forging ahead with greater confidence.
