International Women's Day 2024

Working for Inclusion for everyone ! #InspireInclusion

Today is  International Women's Day (IWD).

For those who are not familiar with this holiday, it is a holiday dedicated to the pursuit of gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. 

This year's theme for the IWD 2024 campaign is Inspire Inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. When women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment.

The #InspireInclusioncampaign aims to forge a more inclusive world for women and girls.-GTG

How would the world be a better place if women were paid the exact same wage as a man? If women were believed when they were speaking out against their abusers? If they were not told science and engineering jobs are for men? 

These questions must be asked on this day and every day forward. Gender equality in no way, shape, or form, should threaten anyone's Masculinity. Women are asked to be treated fairly. To be treated fairly means to be shown the same respect. 

In 2024, the world's landscape is changing. More and more we are seeing women taking the lead in Government jobs and as the head of the household. It is time for us to remove the stigma that sometimes comes with those roles. Together we can. 

Today, on International Women's Day 2024 I am inspired to make Pasta with Chicken and Peas. I love it because it takes less than thirty minutes to make and is delicious. I hope you enjoy it and let me know how it turns out in the comment section! 

Happy Eating!
