Women Play a big part in Economic Growth

Women have the potential to change their own economic status, as well as that of the communities and countries in which they live in. Yet more often, women’s economic contributions go unrecognized, their work undervalued and their promise unnourished.

Unequal opportunities between women and men continue to hinder women’s ability to lift them-selves from poverty and gain more options to improve their lives.

Research shows that inequalities persist in the way paid and unpaid work is divided between women and men; in the fact that women remain the sole caregivers at home, and in their limited access to resources.

What's more, these imbalances slow economic growth.

By economically strengthening women who are half of the world’s workforce is not only a way to spur our economic growth but also a way to advance women's human rights.

If communities, governments and communities empower women, developing countries are less likely to be overwhelmed by poverty.

The bottom line is, investing in women helps speed up the development of local economies and create more equitable societies.

Womens Day!

Women Rule

Everything started in 1857, when the working women of New York understood that they had enough and started protesting to get better working conditions and salary. Unfortunately, they didn’t give their demands a serious thought.

So, they continued protesting in order to meet the eye of the officials and were heard only when those protests turned into a revolution under the guidance of Clara Zetkin (Eißner).

Though the history of this holiday is like that, it means something different for the people today. This day’s associated with one of the most romantic holidays when women get the flowers and presents, a lot of attention, etc.
