Build awareness of citizens,
anti-sexism,
anti-discrimination
International Women's
Day has been celebrated for the first
time since 1909 in New York, so it's
been over a hundred years. Today will
raise awareness of sexual oppression,
gender inequality, discrimination, and
remembering the struggles of female
laborers.
International Women's Day is
inspired by the women workers'
protests in New York in 1857 to call for
equal treatment of labor. Because female
workers have more working hours than
male workers but receive less money, no
days off, no benefits, and will be fired
when pregnant. There were more than 100
people were killed in the
protests.
However, women still have to
fight for a long time after another 67
years, International Women's Day was
recognized by the United Nations in
1975.
For 2023, the main theme of
International Women's Day is
DigitALL: Innovation and technology for
gender equality. Honoring women and
girls who are challenging the challenges
of technological and digital
transformation. Explore the impact of
the digital gender gap that inequality
both economically and socially.
Emphasizes the importance of protecting
the rights of women and girls in the
digital space and dealing with sexual
violence on online media.
