International Women’s Day
International Women's Day: A Celebration of Strength, Resilience, and Empowerment International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated annually on March 8th, is a global occasion to honor the remarkable contributions of women across all walks of life. It serves as both a celebration of women’s achievements and a call to action for gender equality. Women around the world continue to break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and lead with compassion, innovation, and courage. The theme of International Women's Day changes each year, but the core message remains the same: to acknowledge women’s efforts in shaping society and create a future where gender equality is a reality. From political leaders to artists, educators to activists, women have left an indelible mark on history and continue to influence the present and future in meaningful ways. IWD is not just about celebrating women—it’s also a time for reflection and action. As we acknowledge progress, it is important to remember that many women still face significant challenges, from unequal pay and lack of education to violence and discrimination. International Women's Day calls for us to unite in the fight for justice, equality, and empowerment for women everywhere. On this day, individuals, communities, and organizations come together to honor women and girls, stand against injustice, and commit to building a world where women’s voices are heard, valued, and celebrated. It’s a day for every woman to feel seen, appreciated, and respected for who they are and all they bring to the world. International Women's Day (IWD) is an important occasion to celebrate and recognize the achievements of women from all walks of life. For women with disabilities (the specially-abled),this day provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the unique challenges they face and honor their resilience, strength, and contributions to society. Women with disabilities often face multiple layers of discrimination—not only because of their gender but also due to their disability. IWD can shine a light on the barriers that still exist in terms of accessibility, education, employment, healthcare, and social inclusion. It also celebrates the work being done by women in advocating for their rights, changing perceptions, and breaking down these barriers. Let’s take the time to acknowledge and uplift the women in our lives and around the globe, advocating for a world where equality thrives and every woman can dream, achieve, and live without limits. For example, we have Nalini who works with us. Her husband had four lorry’s and overnight lost them. She learnt tailoring as a hobby, which is now helping her earn a livelihood. Her older daughter Sushmitha is with Diya Foundation. We also have Ayesha who is specially challenged, who is one of the three daughters to her mother. Ayesha is paid for her work here with us which helps her family.
