Save Our Needy joined the rest of the world to celebrate International Women's Day, today. The theme for this year is “Think Equal, Build Smart, Innovate for Change."
This theme puts innovation by women and girls, for women and girls, at the heart of efforts to achieve gender equality.
Achieving a gender-equal world requires social innovations that work for both women and men and that leave no one behind. From urban planning that focuses on community safety to e-learning platforms that take classrooms to women and girls, affordable and quality childcare centres, and technology shaped by women, innovation can take the race for gender equality to its finishing line by 2030.
It begins with making sure that women’s and girls' needs and experiences are integrated at the very inception of technology and innovations. It means building smart solutions and innovations disrupt business as usual and that go beyond acknowledging the gender gap to addressing the needs of men and women equally.
The theme means paying attention to how and by whom technology is used and accessed, and ensuring that women and girls play a decisive role in emerging industries.
Today, we celebrate all women, their dreams, their strength, their limitless imagination and ultimately, their resolve to make the world a better place for all.
Happy International Women's Day!!!
