International Women's Day 2020

On 5 March 2020 there will be a general debate in the Main Chamber on the subject of International Women's Day. The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is #EachforEqual.

International Women’s Day, held on 8 March, marks a celebration of the economic, social, cultural and political achievements of women.

The International Women's Day website describes the #EachforEqual theme as denoting individual and collective responsibility for realising gender equality:

The IWD 2020 campaign theme is drawn from a notion of 'Collective Individualism.'

We are all parts of a whole. Our individual actions, conversations, behaviors and mindsets can have an impact on our larger society.

Collectively, we can make change happen. Collectively, we can each help to create a gender equal world
