This year the official United Nations theme for International Women's Day is "Equality for women is progress for all". People around the world will again celebrate the progress made, call for change and recognize what steps need to be taken toward gender equality. Not only because of fundamental human rights, but because it improves progress on many different areas such as poverty, hunger, disease and education. Singapore joins this celebration in many exciting ways!!
The Singapore Council of Women´s Organizations (SCWO) launches the Singapore Women's Hall of Fame, a celebration of the women who have made, or are making, an impact on the nation – the boundary breakers and record holders, the risk-takers and change makers, the role models and the standard setters.
Get All Fired up! with AWARE (Association of Women for Action and Research) and the “We Can!” campaign this International Women's Day! People of all ages, genders and walks of life are coming together in an electrifying day of celebration at Hong Lim Park. Also help to spread the word about gender equality with their facebook campaign.
And last, but not least, take a look at the amazing program the Singapore Committee for UN Women has prepared for this year!!
