INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

 

International Women's Day is marked annually on March 8 to honour the social, economic, cultural, and political accomplishments of women all around the world. The day's main message is a call to action to speed up gender parity and to define agendas and objectives for reaching these aims. To do this, events, presentations, and awareness initiatives are planned. The United Nations has designated "DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality" as the subject for this year's Women's Day with the intention of highlighting the role that technology plays in bringing gender concerns to light. "This year, on International Women's Day, I would want to salute this new generation of young women - for their courage in speaking up, encouraging others, and organising their peers, for a more sustainable tomorrow," said Audrey Azoulay, director general of UNESCO, in her statement for the occasion.

The Women's Cell of GCTE hosted an International Women's Day event at General Hall 2 of the college on March 8, 2023.
