And we have much to celebrate today. But progress toward gender parity has slowed in many places.
The World economic forum predicted in 2014 that it would take untill 2095 to achieve global gender parity. Then one year later in 2015, they estimated that a slowdown in the already glacial pace of progress meant the gender gap wouldn't close entirely until 2033.
So how do we want to celebrate international women's day 2016.
We say by pledging for parity!
Everyone -men or woman - can pledge to take concrete step to help achieve gender parity more quickly-
Whether to help woman and girls achieve their ambitions,
Call for gender balanced-Leadership, respect and value difference, develop more inclusive and flexible cultures or root out workplace bias.
Each of us can be a leader within our spheres of influence and commit to pragmatic action to accelerate gender parity.
Commit to take action to accelerate gender parity.
Globally, with individuals pledging to move from talk to purposeful action and -with men and women joining forces- we can collectively help women to advance equal to their numbers and realize the limitless potential they offer economics to world over. We have urgent work to do.
Are you ready to accelerate gender parity?
