This year, International Women’s Day celebrates its 30th anniversary and the theme is “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.” We cannot truly advance as a society where half the population is persecuted. We need to create a future full of hope and opportunities for the next generation of women led by this generation of women. We all must stand firm against misogyny in all its guises. We are again fighting the same battles again, some of them due to an unparalleled role back on equality, and some in new arenas due to technological advances. All of this should mean we all need to stand firmer with all women in an age where equality is under attack. We need to stand for the truth and shine light into the darkness as we continue to fight for a world for everyone and where no one is left behind because of their gender.
