🧐 Why do we still need to celebrate IWD on the 8th of March, I hear you ask?!? 🤔 In this article UN Women gives you lots of facts and good reasons why 👇🏻 “If current trends continue, more than 342 million women and girls could be living extreme poverty by 2030. To ensure women’s needs and priorities are considered, governments must prioritize gender-responsive financing and increase public spending on essential services and social protection. Policymakers must also value, recognize, and account for the vital contribution women make to economies worldwide through paid and unpaid care work. Women spend around three times more time on unpaid care work than men and if these activities were assigned a monetary value they would account for more than 40 per cent of GDP. Investing in women and championing gender equality turbocharges a future where everyone in society can thrive, creating a world of boundless opportunity and empowerment for all.” #investinwomen 🌟 To all the amazing women out there fighting to make a difference and drive change: keep going and growing, you’re doing great! 🌟 https://lnkd.in/e5BwqDwE
