Collective action and shared ownership for driving gender parity is what makes International Women's Day impactful. Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist and activist once explained "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights." So make International Women's Day your day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women.
A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day. We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women's achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world. From challenge comes change, so let's all choose to challenge.

On June 16, 1971 more than 20,000 South African students in the township of Soweto took to the streets demanding to be taught in their own language. Armed police officers responded by murdering hundreds of protesters. Now a public holiday in South Africa, referred to as Youth Day, it’s also recognized as International Day of the African Child throughout the world. The day focuses attention on the barriers African children face in order to receive a quality education.

There are mountains of data that show children who receive quality education at all levels have a better chance of success.

Every child has the right to go to school and get a quality education. To mark World Children’s Day today, we celebrate that right and look at how you can help us to ensure that right is realized for all children
It is held each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide and the improvement of children's welfare.
It began as Universal Children's Day in 1954 and is celebrated every November 20. It is the most widely ratified international human rights treaty in history - backed by 196 countries and territories. The convention sets out a range of children’s rights, including:
They should be cared for, allowed to develop and to be part of their communities
They have the right to express their own opinions and take part in decisions that affect them
They have the right to be protected against violence and discrimination wherever they live and regardless of their ethnic or social origin, ability, birth or other status.
They have the right to an education
They must be treated with dignity and respect
