IN International Women’s Day, we celebrate the achievements of women and girls across all walks of life, in all corners of the world.
But we also recognize the enormous obstacles they face—from structural injustices, marginalization, and violence, to cascading crises that affect them first and worst, to the denial of their personal autonomy and rights over their bodies and lives. International Women’s Day is a call to action. Action to strengthen protection against sexual exploitation and abuse. This year’s theme stresses the need for technology and innovation to advance gender equality.
That is why we must close the digital divide and increase the representation of women and girls in science and technology. Women’s exclusion from the digital world has shaved an estimated $1 trillion from the GDP of low- and middle-income countries in the last decade—a loss that could grow to $1.5 trillion by 2025 without action. Let us work together—across governments, the private sector and civil society—to build a more inclusive, just, and prosperous world for women, girls, men, and boys everywhere.
