Writing A Women’s Day Speech: 7 Tips and Examples

Every year on March 8th, the world recognizes International Women’s Day. It’s a day for celebrating the economic, social, cultural, and political accomplishments of women and for celebrating Women’s Rights . In 1911, over a million people from Austria, Germany, Denmark, and Switzerland celebrated the first International Women’s Day . Today, in addition to celebrating women’s achievements, IWD is an opportunity to call for gender equality and justice. Speeches are held at events around the world. How do you write a good speech for International Women’s Day? Here are seven tips and examples:

Tip #1: Know your audience

Before writing a speech, you want to know who your audience is and what they care about. Without this information, you may write something that doesn’t resonate. It may not be bad, but it may miss the mark. As an example, if you don’t know recent college graduates make up most of your audience, you may write a speech that fails to take into account their youth, their goals (like starting a career), their knowledge and experience of history, and so on. Your audience’s age is just one piece of information about them. In a 2019 article on Ideas.Ted.com , Briar Goldberg describes how audiences can be broken into three types: expert, novice, and mixed. If you’re speaking to an expert audience, you’ll rely on more complex arguments and terminology than if you were speaking to a novice audience. With mixed audiences, appealing to emotions is often the best choice.

At the 2020 International Finance Corporation’s celebration event for International Women’s Day, the CEO Philippe Le Houérou spoke to his audience’s interests by focusing on economics, numbers, and ways IFC is addressing gender inequality, saying :

“At IFC, we have developed a comprehensive approach to reducing gender inequality. We create partnerships to encourage the hiring of women and improve their working conditions. We help expand access to financial services for women. We invest in innovative technologies that expand choices for female consumers and employment. And we work with partners to provide business skills and leadership training to women entrepreneurs.”

Tip #2: Write a strong opening

A strong opening engages the listener and gives them a general roadmap of your speech. Depending on your speech’s context and audience, you can experiment with opening styles. If you’re speaking to a general audience, an anecdote is a great way to capture your listener’s attention and get them emotionally invested. If your audience consists of experts or academics, it might be best to keep your introduction as brief as possible (many speeches begin with thank yous), so you can spend more time on the speech’s main points.

Consider then-UN Women Deputy Executive Director Lakshmi Puri’s 2013 speech to the mostly-expert audience of the Open Society Foundation. Her topic was on the importance of girls’ education. After thanking the audience, she opened with strong, clear language to emphasize the speech’s main message:

“Your Excellencies, fellow panelists, ladies and gentlemen. I am honoured to be participating in this very important side event on the right to education in the post-2015 agenda. I sincerely thank the International Council for Adult Education, the Global Campaign for Education and all of the convening organizations for inviting me to speak today. UN Women considers that education is one of the greatest game-changers for women and girls around the world. It is both an enabler and force multiplier for women’s economic, political and social empowerment and gender equality.”

Tip #3: Include statistics to support your claims

When you’re writing a speech about issues like gender equality in education, healthcare, or the workplace, you want to give the audience specific information about the issue. Without key statistics , the audience won’t know how serious an issue is or what progress is being made. It isn’t enough to say that “many” girls don’t receive equal education compared to boys or that things are “improving.” What are the actual numbers? Sharing statistics also shows you did your research, which gives your words credibility.

You can also include data to show what specific organizations are doing and how they’re impacting gender equality. That’s what Michelle Obama did in her 2016 speech at the Let Girls Learn event that celebrated Women’s Day. She sprinkled facts through her speech on how Let Girls Learn was making a difference. Here’s an example:

“Folks of all ages and all walks of life are stepping up, as well. More than 1,600 people in nearly all 50 states have donated money to Let Girls Learn Peace Corps projects. Our #62MillionGirls hashtag was the number-one hashtag in the U.S., with people across the country talking about the power of education. And we’ll be launching the next phase of this social media campaign next week at South by Southwest.”

Tip #4: Strike the right tone

How do you want to present yourself? What kinds of emotions do you want to stir in your audience? These types of questions help you identify the appropriate tone for your speech. This is another reason why knowing your audience matters. When you’re speaking to a group of seasoned experts in a formal setting, your tone will likely sound more analytical and logical. If you were speaking in a more casual environment to a group unfamiliar with your subject, you’ll probably want to adopt a more personal, conversational style. If you want to provoke emotions in your listeners and get them to care, stories are very effective. If your goal is to inform and educate, it’s wise to rely on facts and stats.

Tracee Ellis Ross’ 2018 TED Talk on women’s anger is a great example of a speech with a tone that fits the speech’s context. She’s speaking to a mixed-gender audience in a non-academic setting. Because the topic she’s covering is personal, she uses a conversational, almost intimate style that switches between the first and second person. She addresses both the women and men in the audience, but keeps the women centered. Here’s an example toward the end of the speech:

“Our culture is shifting, and it’s time. So my fellow women and our gentle men, as we are here together within this particular window of this large-scale movement towards women’s equality, and as we envision a future that does not yet exist, we both have different invitations.”

Tip #5: Pay attention to structure

At their most basic, speeches consist of an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Each section serves an important purpose. The introduction establishes your credibility, the speech’s tone, and its goals. The body, which is the main part of the speech, fills in the points you want to cover using statistics, stories, or other forms of evidence. The conclusion wraps everything up and emphasizes what you want your audience to remember. Unlike something that’s written, your audience can’t look back to find their way if they get lost, so as you move through the three sections, you want things to be as clear and simple as possible.

In 2021, Srishti Baksh gave a TedTalk relating her 2,300-mile walk journey across India where she held driving workshops to empower women’s ability to move across the country. She uses a simple structure that opens with the story of the first time she went to a movie alone with her friends at age 14. She was assaulted in the theater. She then zooms out, describing how there are 600 million women in India, but women rarely go outside because they’re not safe. In the body of her speech, she zooms back in to talk about her walking journey, the women she met, the empowering and terrifying things she witnessed, and how she joined forces with another woman to create a movement that trains female drivers. She concludes with a clear message:

“By rethinking mobility for women, giving them a safe transport and safety outside of home, it is our hope to transform our culture. Apart from having a profound impact on the Indian economy, this is about something much bigger. As you all know, when we move, we can be seen. The more women see other women in public spaces, the more safe, independent and empowered each one of us will be. So. If we can learn how to walk, certainly we can learn how to fly.”

Tip #6: Use repetition to your advantage

How do you make sure your audience gets the point of your speech? How do you make your speech – which might be one of many speeches the audience sits through – memorable? Repetition. You want to repeat your main point throughout your speech. It’s a good idea to include it at least three times: in the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. There are other types of repetition that make your speech memorable, too. Repetition can include keywords, phrases, and even the sounds of words. Repetition looks different depending on what kind of speech you’re giving. If you’re giving an emotion-driven speech, frequent repetition of the same words/phrases adds to the emotional punch. For informational or educational speeches where powerful emotions aren’t necessarily appropriate, use different words/phrases to repeat the main point.

For an example of good repetition in a speech, let’s look at Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw’s 2016 Keynote at Women of the World . From a word search, it’s clear what the speech is about. Together, the words “intersectionality” and “intersectional” appear 42 times. Repetition is found within sentences and paragraphs, too:

“There are multiple forms of intersectionality . I could talk about a lot of them, but the kind of intersectionality that I most want to talk about is the intersectionality around politics – political intersectionality .”

“So the question we have to ask is, what can we each do about it? We’ve been saying the first thing you can do about it is say her name. Do not allow her death to happen in silence. Do not allow their children, their loved ones to grieve for them in silence. Do not allow , do not affirm the belief that their lives are insignificant.”

Tip #7: Ask rhetorical questions

Do you want to increase audience engagement? Ask rhetorical questions. When you ask a question, your audience is forced to think more deeply about your words. They’re more likely to listen more closely, as well, since the information that follows a question will provide more context. You can use rhetorical questions in a few ways. You can anticipate a question your audience might have, set up an important point, or even encourage an emotional response. Even though audience members won’t shout out an answer (unless you encourage them to do so), asking questions makes your speech feel more interactive and engaging.

Let’s look at a 2003 speech by Maxine Waters at the National Youth Summit. While it isn’t directly about women’s rights, it serves as a great example of how to use questions in a speech. Right from the beginning, it’s clear this speech is going to be interactive. She says good morning to the audience and then prompts them to answer her. Through the speech, Waters asks many questions (some rhetorical, some direct), all of which make the speech engaging even through a transcript:

“Who makes up this jury? [Waters is discussing a trial involving a White cop and a Black teenager that ended in a hung jury and mistrial] A lot of people were very, very concerned because there was only one black person on the jury. The city of Inglewood is majority minority, and majority African-American. How could this have happened? How could you get a jury with only one black, in a case where the defendants are African-American, in a city where it is majority minority and mostly black? How could this happen?”

How To Write A Speech On Women’s Day: Comprehensive Guide With Sample Speech

• Speech Writing

Celebrated for over a century now, Women’s Day has served as an active acknowledgment of the magnificent and fierce force of nature that women are. Observing it is one way of honoring all that they do and are. 

With gender parity becoming a progressively imperative area for our woke society, the Women’s day celebration has been commercialized and far-reaching. 

What that means is that people have started counting it as an event that can be used for raising charity for women-centric NGOs and other funds. That goes on to say that it attracts tonnes of people and involves a lot of public gatherings.

Whether it is a local community celebration, a small social gathering, or large press conferences and fundraisers, all these events have people who are eager to talk about a bunch of things revolving around women. 

While the spectrum for the topics you could talk about is very wide, this article will help you curate a speech that stands out and makes it a memorable one for the audience. 

What is the history of Women’s Day?

While it is not something you must necessarily include in your speech, it’s good to know the relevance and context of the occasion.

Marked every year on March 8th, the first ever Women’s Day was celebrated in 1911 and supported by over a million people. 

It came about as a long due response to the repressive tendencies of the society. An agitated reaction to the disparity in working conditions between men and women. Today, it calls for celebrating women in social, economic, political, and domestic spheres of life in personal and professional capacities. 

If you wish to know more about the history of Women’s Day in detail, here’s some timeline-based information you can find on the web: History of International Women’s Day

What can you talk about on Women’s Day?

Needless to say, the central topic you would need to focus on is women. However, the scope of things you could talk about related to women is far more extensive than you’d think. 

Historically, the gender dynamics in society have been known to be inherently skewed in one direction. The hegemonic patriarchal structure has alienated women to a subordinate position in personal and professional spaces.

Women till date, are treated like the ‘other’ or deviated from the norm that is male-centric. The injustices inflicted on women are agitating to even think about. 

So, you could choose to talk about the aforementioned injustices (because, believe me, there are many), or you could talk about the progress we have made so far in eradicating them. These are, however, the most common topics that are saturated on every Women’s Day.

You need your speech to stand out, and for that, you need to write something that adds new value instead of reiterating the same old ones.

The key to a good speech is to give the audience what they’re not getting to hear already.

That is not to say that we should stop talking about all that is wrong with gender dynamics, however, a good speech would bring to light the already existing conflicts in a new way. Here’s where you can get creative with your words. Read further to understand.

Having said that, International Women’s Day is not just about looking at the past. Apart from these things, you could also talk about the accomplishments women have made in praise of them. 

One REALLY relevant, unconventional, and new area you could focus on is body positivity and talking about gender identity. You could back up with statistics the number of women who struggle with body positivity, the numbers are alarming!

Besides, the LGBTQ+ community also has women or people who identify as women, this is a perfect opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate them.

There are so many strong women who defy the norm and rise through ranks. Women’s Day is also an occasion to celebrate women, more than anything.

Things to keep in mind while writing a Women’s Day speech

So, to give you a few practical examples, here’s a list of potential topics you could talk about:

1. Feminism in *name of your country* 

“Feminism is the radical notion that women are human beings.” ― Cheris Kramarae

Feminism is a hot topic in the 21st century. It is almost always spoken about on Women’s Day. It’s one of the most influential movements that our society has come up with. 

However, like any other radical movement, it has as many critics as supporters. The cultural interrogation of feminism differs from country to country, since it’s perceived differently.

You could do extensive research about what it is like to be a feminist in your own country. Your speech could comprise YOUR personal, subjective experience, your struggles, your achievements, etc. 

Reference: For example, check out Malala Yousafzai’s speech on how Feminism is not complicated

2. Educate a woman, educate a generation

Women and education is another very sensitive area on a global level. There are still countries that restrict women’s access to education to this date, even after the third wave of Feminism. 

This is why it is important to bring it up consistently every time, to start conversations, to bring this grave issue to the forefront. 

In this speech, you could give some really upsetting statistics about the percentage of women deprived of one of the most fundamental rights, and move on to paint a picture of a society where women are less educated, and predict the consequences it would have. 

Reference: Here’s Angelina Jolie addressing the 25th AU Summit 2015, another great example you could check out!

3. Empower & unite: a vision

This is a rather umbrella topic. Women are empowered by change. Any real difference requires a real change.

Just talking about equality does not warrant it.

A speech here can be made about what groundwork must one do in practical day-to-day life to bring about the desired change.

A vision has to be formed of the society that women feel accepted and welcomed in, and then steps to move towards it can be enlightened. 

For example, education policies can be enacted, NGOs can be formed, you can also mention the progress already made in these areas.

Reference: Here’s yet another strong global female figure, Meghan Markle’s UN Women speech on “Speak up for your values “

Writing the Speech: Main Guide

Well then, with some prompts and examples to lay the groundwork, let’s move on to the actual process of writing the speech on Women’s Day.

There are a few things that you need to keep in mind, the following includes some tips along with a step-by-step procedure.

• Target a core message you want to convey and build your speech around it, or better yet, design your speech in such a way that leads UP TO this core message.
• Organize your speech. (read further in the steps)
• While writing the speech, think of yourself as an audience member, shifting perspective from speaker to listener helps you eliminate boring things sometimes.
• Build a rough skeleton of your speech, what point would segue into what. Arrange the order of the subtopics.  
• Decide the duration of your speech in advance, it helps you narrow down to key points and cut down unnecessary jargon. It also helps if you set a timer during your practice.
• Reiteration is fine, but don’t repeat your points too many times. It gets boring for people sometimes. 
• If talking about radical notions like feminism, try not to go too hardcore since these topics attract extreme opinions and reactions. You don’t want things to get too heated.
• Make sure you don’t just talk about the mainstream “issues” of women. It could make your speech generic and repetitive, and hence, less impactful. Try to cover a bunch of areas, some a little optimistic perhaps.

Well, with those in mind, let’s move on to a step-by-step guide!

You must’ve heard a thousand times that structure is the most essential tool when writing or giving a speech, and that’s because it is. Any great speech has a very apparent beginning, middle, and end. 

With that being said, let’s get to this specific topic. While talking on Women’s Day, it is a good idea to begin by appreciating and acknowledging women of all kinds, and all that they do, how our lives are so much better with them in it.

Remember, this day is about *celebrating* women.

After this, the direction you take your speech in differs according to your core message. For example, if you want to talk about gender neutrality, you can move on to the disparities that sadly still exist in our society.

You can also talk about the urgency to change the general mindset about the “othering” of women. You can mention how if you’re not actively trying to bring about change, you’re passively contributing to an unfortunate reality.  

Try using strong words like “unfortunate”, “contribution”, “challenge” that evoke the audience.

And finally, and most importantly, always end on a positive note. Not just anything though, mention the progress that’s been made by people towards bringing about the change. 

For example, you could mention the Let Girls Learn initiative by Michelle Obama aimed at providing education to adolescent girls. 

Ending on a positive note brings a sense of hope.

Another very important thing you need to keep in mind is that while the guide might help you with constructing a speech, the words are going to be yours.

And to make sure that your words hook the audiences’ attention, you need to have some really impressive opening lines, because that is when their attention span is at its peak!

To help with just that, we have written a whole article about speech openers, you can check them out here: 15 Powerful Speech Opening Lines (And How to Create Your Own)

Additionally, you need to make sure that the end of your speech packs and ties the whole essence together. Here are 15 Powerful Speech Ending Lines (And Tips to Create Your Own)

#PURPOSE & #TONE

The purpose of a speech could be delivering the core message we spoke about, or it could be getting your audience to act on something. It’s the REASON for giving that particular speech.

As yourself, do you want to alert your audience? or do you want to challenge them? Do you want to educate them? Or just provide insights? Answering these questions for yourself will help you find the purpose.

The tone of your speech goes hand in hand with the purpose. For example, if your purpose is to ignite a passion towards women’s empowerment, then your tone would be definitive, assertive, and strong. It would involve saying phrases like “We MUST”, “We HAVE to”, etc.

Meanwhile, if it’s to just deliver facts in a non-aggressive way, then your tone would be soft-spoken with pauses for people to ponder. It is very important to align your tone with the purpose. 

As mentioned in the tips, you must decide upon the duration of time you want to speak. As it is, our attention spans are progressively shrinking. Hence, it is important to convey what you wish to within the shortest time frame possible.

Compress your data. Include facts, but only sprinkle them throughout like pepper. Don’t go overloaded with statistics. People withdraw the fastest when they hear numbers too much. 

Your speech should be moving, and while numbers help, let your own words do the magic instead of relying too much on numbers. 

Ideally, a good speech about an occasion like Women’s Day goes on till about 3-5 minutes. Unless you want to dive into a specific topic and dig deep. Again, it depends on the audience you’re catering to.

A group of social activists wouldn’t mind an hour-long speech, even. But kids, or maybe community meetings tend to lose focus faster if they’re not motivated about the subject as strongly. 

#CREATIVITY

Creativity is a massive spectrum. There are hundreds of aids you could use to enhance your speech, even make it a performance if you may. 

But a few examples that I can think of are using visual aids, making a PPT with colorful graphs and flowcharts to depict statistics instead of saying them. 

Some people have a strong visual memory, so you’d be making a stronger impact on them by showing them instead of telling them. Not to mention color attracts and even retains attention.

Other than that, you could show a short film, or even an ad campaign in the beginning to set the base strong, or create the mood. 

For example, here’s a Reebok campaign ad that their brand did in 2018 for a women empowerment initiative. You could show it to your audience in the beginning to build a context. Additionally, some ads leave a long-lasting impact.

With these tools, you’re all set to begin curating your speech. Remember to make it personal, adding anecdotes from your life or people you know it’s what makes your speech real, and hence, stand out.

Sample Speech

Before I begin my speech, I want us all to do a little imaginative exercise today. Ready? I want you all to close your eyes. Take a deep breath, and picture what I’m saying. Imagine being in a really long, dark hallway. You can see a door in some distance but you have to squint your eyes. There is light outside the door. Normally, you’d want to reach out to that door and walk out happily into the light. Now imagine your hands being tied, restricting your movement. And the pathway leading to the door is peppered with shattered glass. And the ceiling is also made of glass where you can look at your reflection and see someone tired of trying. Meanwhile, a whole group of people pass by you, look at you, judge you, objectify you, and swiftly move towards the door because their pathway is smooth. Open your eyes. Ladies and gentlemen, what you just imagined is what we call being a woman. Welcome to our world. Women. The pillars of our society, the nurturers of our progeny, the threads weaving our communities together. Women. To say that they are the physical manifestation of strength itself would be a gross understatement. Today, women around us are excelling in all spheres that mankind has designed, making this world a better place to live in, little by little. Be it a homemaker, a professionally devoted one, or any other kind, our mothers, sisters, teachers, aunts, daughters, and friends are rays of inspiration to us.

I look around today and see these absolutely wonderful women who are extremely loved. But that’s not all I see. I also see victims. Victims of heinous crimes like rapes, abuse, torture. But the victimization isn’t limited to just punishable offenses, there are women I see who fall prey to silent killers of joy. Victims of emotional abuse, women stuck in long miserable marriages too afraid to break out of it for the sake of putting up with ridiculous notions of society that undermine them. Other than that, can you believe it is estimated that 60 percent of chronically hungry people are women and girls? Women make up more than two-thirds of the world’s 796 million illiterate people. The list of appalling facts and figures goes on… Gaps between men and women exist in areas from pay ranges to decision making to accessibility in health services and education. The UN has made a LIST on their websites that is full of these shocking gaps. It is sad how long you have to scroll to reach the end.

We are living in the 21st century. There is not a single shred of doubt in the fact that a woman can become and conquer anything that she desires. History tells us, however, that this has been a result of an unbearably long journey of revolts and movements against a society that was designed to put women down, to undermine them. Where the only criteria to determine their worth was how pretty they are or how well they cook and clean. Patriarchy is so deeply rooted in the fabric of so many countries that there are still people who continue to follow those notions about women. And for them, I have one word: Ignorant. Yes, they are ignorant to the grave consequences of perpetuating gender parity, ignorant to the fact that women are just as human as men, ignorant to all the possibilities a woman if given, can emerge gloriously from. Let me reiterate to you people today, WOMEN BELONG TO THE WORLD, NOT INSIDE KITCHENS. The rise of women does NOT equate to the fall of men. And anyone who thinks so has my deepest sympathies for the blind ignorance. 

I’m sure you’ve heard of Sudha Murty, one of the well-renowned authors of India and a philanthropist. But she is still sometimes referred to as “the wife” of the founder of the Infosys Foundation, even though she herself is the chairperson of the same company. Something to know about this extraordinary woman is that she is now 70 years old, which means she graduated high school in a time when it was norm to treat women as secondary beings. In an age like that, she dared to dream to become an engineer. Her family wasn’t supportive of it, because then nobody would marry her, of course. But she went ahead and pursued it anyway. It is to be noted that she was the only woman among 599 engineering students. She then went on to smash the stereotypes and bag a job in TELCO, one of India’s biggest automobile firms, which again, she got because she stood up for herself and the discrimination against women. By the way, the educational authorities during her time were so indifferent that they didn’t even build ladies bathrooms in the institution. This led to Sudha to bring a real change and build over 16,000 toilets after Infosys happened. Today, she is looked upto for the courage she had to raise her voice and be the first woman for so many things, it is revolutionary to witness it. T he cloud isn’t entirely dark .Today, industries and organizations are taking active steps towards eradicating the orthodox mentality. There are women crushing and dominating the glass ceiling in all professional fields. Global organizations such as the UN are working towards women empowerment on a large scale, Feminism is in its third wave on an international scale. We are certainly moving towards a future where it’s not about men and women, it’s about being HUMANS, and that, considering everything, is a win.  To conclude with the remarkable words of Megan Markle, a wonderful representation of strong globally impactful women and the UN women’s advocate for political participation and leadership, “It isn’t enough to simply talk about equality, one must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to simply believe in it, one must work at it. let us work at it. Together, starting now”

Happy Women’s Day!

Every year, you may find people adopting a theme for advertisement campaigns or public speeches in order to focus on a particular area that women need to be celebrated in. It can serve as the necessary prompt for you to curate your speech.

Other than that, we hope this guide helped you coming up with a great speech on International Women’s day!

Speech on Women’s Day

Speech generator.

Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and all the incredible women present here today, I stand before you humbled by the opportunity to speak on a day that is much more than a date on the calendar. International Women’s Day is a celebration of strength, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of women around the globe. It is a day to honor the achievements of women, to acknowledge the progress made, and to recommit ourselves to the journey ahead towards gender equality.

The Journey of Women

The story of women’s journey towards equality is a tapestry woven with the threads of courage, sacrifice, and relentless struggle. From the suffragettes of the early 20th century to the women’s liberation movements of the 60s and 70s, to the #MeToo movement of today, women have fought tirelessly for their rights, for respect, and for recognition. Each step forward has been hard-won, each victory a testament to the resilience and strength of women everywhere.

Celebrating Achievements

Today, we celebrate not just the victories of the past but the achievements of women in the present. Women are leading nations, shaping economies, making scientific breakthroughs, and creating art that challenges and inspires. They are mothers, daughters, leaders, and visionaries. They are breaking the glass ceiling, challenging stereotypes, and showing the world that there is no limit to what women can achieve.

The Challenge Ahead

Yet, despite the progress, the journey is far from over. Gender inequality remains a pervasive issue, manifesting in wage gaps, underrepresentation in leadership roles, and systemic barriers that hinder women’s advancement. Violence against women, limited access to education and healthcare, and the undermining of women’s rights are realities that too many women face daily. Today, we recommit ourselves to the fight against these injustices, to standing in solidarity with women across the globe in their quest for equality, respect, and dignity.

A Call to Action

On this Women’s Day, let us make a pledge. A pledge to uplift and support the women around us, to challenge gender stereotypes and biases, and to work towards creating a world where every woman and girl has the opportunity to realize her full potential. Let us celebrate the achievements of women, not just today, but every day. Let us remember that the fight for gender equality is not just a women’s issue; it is a human issue, requiring the commitment and action of every one of us, regardless of gender.

In conclusion, let us draw inspiration from the women who have paved the way, from those who have dared to dream, and from those who continue to fight for a fairer, more equal world. Let us honor them by continuing their work, by standing up for justice and equality, and by celebrating the extraordinary contributions of women to our world. Together, we can create a future where International Women’s Day is not just a day of reflection but a celebration of true gender equality achieved. Thank you.

About International Women's Day 

Even though International Women's Day is a well-known moment in most countries, it is often helpful to still set some context. 

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

The day has occurred for well over a century, with the first​ ​IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Prior to this the​ Socialist Party of America, United Kingdom's Suffragists and Suffragettes, and further groups campaigned for women's equality. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere.

Engaging topics and angles to cover

Some engaging topics and angles to include in International Women's Day speeches and presentations include:

• The rise of women is not about the fall of men
• Everyone can play a role in forging gender parity
• Gender balance is not solely a women's issue, but also an economic issue
• What is bias and how does it play out?
• Advocacy, inclusive mindsets, and tangible action are needed from all

Key points to convey

Some engaging angles to elaborate upon may include:

• Many societies have moved on from women having to succeed in a man's world
• Gender stereotypes are being challenged and diverse representation of women is more evident
• There is still a continuing need worldwide for more progressive mindsets and inclusive behaviors to be forged
• There are many examples of gender bias - both conscious and unconscious - and each impacts women
• Collectively everyone everywhere can strive for women's equality and continue to make positive gains
• Equal opportunities aren't enough because equity is different to equality
• What it means to truly include women and ensure a sense of belonging

Setting some interesting historical context

The path to women's equality has been long and challenging, and here are some reasons why. Each stage provided an important focus in forging the gender agenda further along.

• Activism:  In the late 1800's and early 1900's, women activists fought hard for equality. The focus was largely on securing the right to vote and equal pay for equal work. These two issues - women's voice and participation in government; and the gender pay gap - largely remain key priorities well over a century later.  
• Feminism: Fast-forward to the 1970's and widespread feminist action saw women rallying, protesting and lobbying hard for inclusion, influence and equality. Feminists faced many challenges - systemic and societal - not only from opposing men, but also from other women.  
• Fix the women:  The 1980's saw an array of "Fix the Women" programs that were well-meaning in trying to help women become more confident, visible, well-networked and assertive - but many reinforced a notion that women needed to "act like men" and "fit" into existing patriarchal structures and organizations if they were to succeed (all while still being a superwoman in the home). Shoulder pads, power suits, high heels and a loud voice were in fashion.  
• Change the organization - The 1990's and noughties focused on organizational development: "Maybe if we change or fix the organizational structures, women will thrive?" So a focus on areas like 'women in the boardroom' escalated, as did more diverse recruiting, inclusive talent pipelines, and attention to wider diversity groups beyond gender such as race, LGBT+ and so forth. The introduction of "Top Company" and "Top Women" style lists occurred and as they increased in popularity, the number of new lists launched each year increased exponentially. The number of women's awards, conferences and networks also increased significantly - and continue to play an important and necessary role across all countries. The volume of gender-related research also increased - new insight, new terms and understandings, new phrases, measurement of the extent of problems or success; hard facts and numbers; incremental data.  
• Diversity & Inclusion: The 20-teens's saw an increasing focus on intersectional feminism and the important role that diversity and inclusion play in forging an equal world. "Men as allies" (i.e. men as advocates and champions of change), with this being recognized as a major element in accelerating women's equality. Many progressive CEOs and influential leaders have committed via formal public channels to helping build diverse and inclusive organizations that challenge stereotypes and bias. Furthermore, the global rise of social media provided a greater voice to groups often marginalized or sidelined from positions of power. Increasingly the global collective conversation for feminism continued to open up and grow. Understanding, challenging and calling out gender stereotypes, bias and discrimination became more prevalent. In 2013,  Lean In was founded to provide community, education and resources to support women's development, with an annual Women in the Workplace Study conducted with McKinsey & Company. The #MeToo movement (founded by activist Tarana Burke who coined the term “MeToo” in 2006) gained widespread attention in 2017 when actress Alyssa Milano urged victims of sexual harassment and assault to share their stories on social media. A global wave of activism and much needed change ensued. Much ground was made in the 20-teens, yet there was still a lot more to do.  
• The world expects diversity, equity and inclusivity: And so here we are in the 2020's. The significant global rise in International Women's Day activity in every corner of the world - along with the many female-focused campaigns and initiatives worldwide - means gender is firmly on the agenda. As expectations rise and information spreads faster and wider than ever before, organizations face unprecedented scrutiny from candidates, consumers, communities, investors, governments, and the media in terms of their support for and treatment of women. Many employers now publicly publish annual Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) reports and participate in various indices and accolades. 

Gender-related conversations and activity are certainly on the rise. Over the years, the term "International Women's Day" was one of the most discussed topic on Facebook by millions (even more than the Super Bowl). And back in 2018, Pantone's 'Color of the Year' was purple (i.e. women's color). Everywhere, gender is on the mainstream radar and impacting the narrative. Stereotypes, discrimination and bias are more likely to be called out. Men's role in society is more varied, and gender roles are more fluid. We are moving to a very exciting time in history where the world now "expects" diversity, equity and inclusion. The world notices its absence and celebrates its presence.

Step back over the years. International Women's Day has seen groups rally around many different focuses. For example, International Women's Day 2016 saw people worldwide being asked to support women's equality and develop an inclusive mindset via a #PledgeforParity. Then for International Women's Day 2017, the world was asked to #BeBoldforChange and identify tangible action to help accelerate gender parity. International Women's Day 2018 saw a massive #PressforProgress as the world stepped forward to push the boundaries and go beyond in achieving greater equality for women. International Women's Day 2019 saw& groups continue to play a critical role in helping forge a more gender-balanced world as we worked towards a #BalanceforBetter. International Women's Day 2020, amidst the pandemic, saw an important wave of collective individualism as we all strived to be #EachforEqual - because we know that an equal world is an enabled world. Then in 2021, we saw widespread global adoption of the #ChooseToChallenge campaign theme as groups committed to actively watching for and calling out inequity. In 2022, we stepped up and increased awareness of the significant impact that bias has on women's equality - both conscious and unconscious bias. We need to recognize it, and call it out, and so we called to everyone to #BreakTheBias. In 2023, the world truly made a massive effort to understand the difference between equity and equality , and why treating everyone the same can be discriminatory, and why in fact equal opportunities aren't enough. As such, the world saw a considerable narrative about why and how to #EmbraceEquity.

And so now for 2024, here we are living in a world that's incredibly turbulent, complex and exciting. The IWD 2024 campaign theme focuses on a global request to #InspireInclusion because when we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment. So the aim of the IWD 2024  #InspireInclusion   campaign is to collectively forge a more inclusive world for women.

Insightful statistics to include

Download the Women in the Workplace Report  report to gain a sense of where women are at on the long road to equality.

It is also worthwhile to refer to a summary of actions countries have taken around the world to help forge women's equality.

International Women’s Day Short Speech in English

“A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman. But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult.”- Melinda Gates

Professors, Chief Guest, and my cherished friends. Everyone is cordially welcomed. I feel privileged to offer a concise but motivational speech on this historic occasion about women's day. On March 8, people around the world celebrate International Women's Day to honour women's achievements in a variety of fields. Women are just as productive as men in almost every area of life today.

The goal of International Women's Day is to promote the idea that people of all genders ought to be treated equally. The day's goals were to highlight the many facets of a woman's existence in a male-dominated environment in order to shift people's perceptions globally and have a positive impact on the entire world.

Women's jobs were previously limited to housework only. Everyone, including some women, was taught that women's roles are restricted to domestic responsibilities. This idea discouraged women from considering or going to work.

The stereotypes about what women can and cannot do regularly target them, which is why we need a women's day. Data indicate that women continue to face discrimination from others and have less access to education than men. Men are still permitted to make important choices that have an impact on women, such as abortion, and pay is still based on a person's gender. Furthermore, there are still significant influences that are disregarded. Therefore, we need a day to start discussions and create open agendas that demand attention from all over the world.

In four out of every five cases, harassment is directed at women. They are particularly susceptible to domestic abuse and sexual assault when they are young. Every day, over 30,000 girls are forced into child marriages, and other kids are the victims of illegal trafficking and female genocidal acts.

Greetings to Everyone here! International Women’s Day is celebrated on the 8th of March every year. It’s a day for celebrating women who work hard every day to achieve personal and professional goals.

The goal of gender equality is being approached globally. It's progressing in the direction of gender equality. As Change is both necessary and crucial for a country's development. Men have historically enjoyed greater privileges in all areas of society. And we must all receive equal rights and opportunities because we are all members of the human race, so that must change.

Women are no longer reliant on men to meet their financial needs. She can take care of herself because she is strong and independent. Women all over the world now have the freedom that enables them to be financially independent thanks to this change. They have self-confidence and don't hesitate to push all the limits necessary to complete their tasks.

International women’s Day gives a chance to appreciate all small and big decisions. It’s a day to acknowledge the value and importance of women in all spheres of life. 

Thank You and have a very Happy International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day 2023: Women Who were the ‘Firsts’ in their Field in 2022

Every year, the adage "women run the world" is proven to be more true. Women all over the world are making significant contributions that are changing the world. They are working very hard and breaking every glass ceiling in the world, but still, they suffer the most.

Women today hold the highest positions in every industry and carry the most incredible responsibilities in human history. Males are increasingly coming forward to support women's empowerment initiatives, just as women did in the 1800s.

Without a doubt, modern women have a better quality of life than women in the past. However, issues still need to be resolved. Women still work twice as hard as men do while making less money, despite their efforts. To accomplish their sincere objectives, they put up with cruel torture and intimidation.

On this International Women's Day, let's celebrate all the incredible women in our lives, whether they are your mother, wife, or daughter. Let's show our admiration for their accomplishments and dedication to creating a world where women are free from all injustices.

Long Speech on International Women’s Day 2023

Greetings to my teachers and close friends in the most sincere way possible. I'm overjoyed to give a brief but inspirational speech on women's day. International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8th to recognize the accomplishments of women in a variety of fields. In almost every area of life today, women are just as productive as men.

We cannot argue against the zeal and expertise with which they approach everything they do, whether at home or at work. They build not only a community but also themselves. However, history has frequently failed to accurately depict how a woman can be. There must be more than one day designated to celebrate women. Every day should be observed as a day to honour the divinity of women.

Additionally, this day has a brief 109-year history. 15,000 women who protested in New York City in 1909 against issues like low wages, equal opportunities, and no voting rights were recognized by a political party in America.

It was first celebrated on March 8th and was formerly known as National Women's Day. As word of this spread, people all over the world held yearly celebrations. International Women's Day was first recognized by the UN in 1975, and from 1996 on, Women's Day became a theme to honour women in the community.

The goal of International Women's Day is to spread the message that all genders should be treated equally. The day's objectives were to change people's perspectives globally and have a positive impact on the world by highlighting the diverse aspects of a woman's life in a male-dominated environment.

The need for a women's day stems from the fact that stereotypes about what women can and cannot do frequently target them. Data show that women still have less access to education than men, and they still experience discrimination from others.

International Women's Day 2023: 10 Powerful and Greatest Women in Indian History

Every fifth woman experiences harassment. As children, they are incredibly vulnerable to domestic violence and sexual assault. Over 30,000 girls are forced into child marriages every day, and other girls experience female genocides and illegal trafficking.

Unquestionably, modern women live in a better world than women in the past. But there are still problems that need to be fixed. Despite all of their efforts, women still put in twice as much work as men do while earning less money. They put up with horrific torture and intimidation in order to achieve their true goals.

The most extraordinary responsibilities in history are now being carried out by women, who now hold the top positions in every industry. Just as women did in the 1800s, men are now stepping up to support women's empowerment initiatives.

Greetings to everyone! As we are all aware, International Women's Day is an occasion to honour the contributions that women have made to society as well as their accomplishments.

Every year on March 8th, people all over the world celebrate International Women's Day, a day devoted to honouring women's accomplishments in a variety of social, political, and cultural fields.

You must be wondering why March 8th is designated as Women's Day. There is, however, a brief 109-year history surrounding it. A political party in America commemorated 15,000 women who demonstrated in New York City in 1909 against issues like low pay, equal opportunities, and no voting rights. Initially observed on March 8th, it was originally known as National Women's Day. As word of this spread, annual celebrations were held all over the world. The United Nations first recognised International Women's Day in 1975, and starting in 1996, it became a theme to honour women in society.

What is the significance of Women's Day now that we are aware of when and who created it? is the logical follow-up question. The primary goal of Women's Day is to honour the contributions made by women in a variety of professions, including those of artist, educator, administrator, politician, and scientist. Awareness-building for women's rights and gender parity is also crucial. We can all agree that no nation has achieved gender equality, but there are still a few places where it is not even a concept. Women do not have equal opportunities everywhere. In some nations, they are not allowed to criticise their treatment or way of life. Girl child abuse is widespread in places where gender-based crimes, such as child marriages, are committed, and all of this discrimination a woman encounters is based on one chromosome.

Therefore, it is crucial to have a Day that reaches out and aids in resolving all forms of discrimination that women face. We all recognise the value of women. They can take on the roles of a loving mother, a daughter, etc. It's crucial to express your love and care for the women in your life on International Women's Day. 

I'd like to end my speech by stating that International Women's Day is devoted to honouring the contributions made by women in the social, cultural, and political spheres. The Day founded by Women aids in bringing awareness to the marginalised status of women's rights and gender parity in some parts of the world. Everyone should recognise the value and significance of women in our lives and throughout the world on this day, which ought to be observed annually. Many thanks.

Team Jagranjosh also extends its congratulations and appreciation to all women on International Women's Day for contributing to the splendor of our world.

Women’s Studies conference is a leading event in this area attended by many women and gender studies scholars.

Below are some useful points to cover in IWD addresses – whether addressing young children, employees in the workforce, members of the community, public audiences or the press.

About International Women’s Day Even though International Women’s Day is a well-known moment in most countries, it’s often helpful to still set some context.

International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

The day has occurred for well over a century, with the first​ ​IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Prior to this the​ Socialist Party of America, United Kingdom’s Suffragists and Suffragettes, and further groups campaigned for women’s equality. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere.

Engaging topics and angles to cover Some engaging topics and angles to include in International Women’s Day speeches and presentations include:

An alert world is a challenged world From challenge comes change The rise of women is not about the fall of men Everyone can play a role in forging gender parity Gender balance is not solely a women’s issue, but also an economic issue Advocacy, inclusive mindsets and tangible action are needed from all Speeches and presentations can reference great women and their achievements and this can provide great context for the speech or presentation and its audience.

Here’s a powerful and engaging IWD presentation resource that can be shown in speeches and presentations.

Change the organization – The 1990’s and noughties focused on organizational development: “Maybe if we change or fix the organizational structures, women will thrive?” So areas like the focus on women in the boardroom escalated, as did more diverse recruiting, inclusive talent pipelines, and attention to wider diversity groups beyond gender such as race, LGBT+ and so forth. The introduction of “Top Company” and “Top Women” style lists occurred and as they increased in popularity, the number of new lists launched each year increased exponentially. The number of women’s conferences and networks also increased significantly – and continue to play an important and necessary role across all countries. Live or in person, women’s health conferences attract the attention of researchers to discuss an important aspect of women’s lives and tackle some of the most pressing health issues facing women today. The volume of gender-related research also increased – new insight, new terms and understandings, new phrases, measurement of the extent of problems or success; hard facts and numbers.

Men as allies: In more recent years, men as advocates and champions of change has been recognized as a major trend in accelerating women’s equality. Many progressive CEOs and influential leaders have committed via formal public channels to helping build diverse and inclusive organizations that challenge stereotypes and bias.

Now the world expects inclusivity: And so here we are. Movements like #MeToo, #TimesUp and the significant global rise in International Women’s Day activity in every corner of the world – along with the many female-focused days and initiatives around the world – mean gender is firmly on the agenda.

Gender-related conversations and activity are certainly on the rise. Back in 2017 and 2018, “International Women’s Day” was the most discussed topic on Facebook by millions (even more than the Super Bowl).

Women's Day Speech

Greetings to everyone present here. As we all know we are here to celebrate the presence of Women in society and to celebrate their achievements, to celebrate International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day is celebrated on 8th March every year around the world and it’s the Day dedicated to celebrating Women’s achievements in various Social, Political, and Cultural Fields. 

You must be wondering why Women’s Day is celebrated on 8th March? Well, there is a brief History around it that goes back 109 years. It was in 1909 when a political party of America celebrated 15,000 Women who protested against various issues like low pay scale, equal opportunities, and lack of voting rights in New York city. Originally it was called National Women’s Day and as the news spread annual celebration was done across the world but it was Russia who set the March 8th date. It was in 1975 that the United Nation recognized International Women’s Day and from 1996 International Women’s Day became a theme to celebrate Women in society. 

Now as we know when and who established it now naturally the next question that arises is what is the significance of Women’s Day?. The main aim of Women’s Day is to celebrate the achievements of Women in various fields and the roles they play which could be that they are an Artist, a Teacher, an Administrator, a Politician, or Scientist. It is also important to raise awareness about Women’s rights and gender parity. We can all agree that no country has achieved gender equality yet there are few places where the concept of gender equality does not even exist. Around the world, Women are not given equal opportunities. There are countries where they are denied to raise a point about their lives and how they are treated. Girl child abuse is common in many places where many crimes like child marriages, gender-based are done and all this discrimination a Woman faces is on the basis of one chromosome. 

For ages, men have had more privileges in every aspect of life in society, which could be good pay scale, social status, or voting rights percentage but now we are living in the 21st century and the world is slowly moving towards gender balance. It’s moving towards equality for both men and Women which could include equal pay scale, social status, and equal voting rights for Women. This change is necessary and it is required around the world because we all are humans and equal opportunities and respect should be given to everyone. 

So it is important to have a Day that reaches out and helps in solving all the discriminations that are happening against Women. As we all know how important Women are. They play various roles which could be a caring mother, a daughter, and so on. On this Day, it’s important to show the Women in your life how much you care about them and how much you love them. 

Educational institutions are now open to celebrate Women’s Day. It’s a sign of progress and they are teaching students to honor and respect a Woman. 

I want to conclude my speech by saying that International Women’s Day is dedicated to celebrating the achievements of women in social, cultural, and political fields. The Day formed by Women helps in bringing attention towards the forgotten Women’s rights and gender parity in a few places around the world. It should be considered a Day where everyone acknowledges the value and the importance of Women in our lives and all around the world. Thank you.

Celebration of Women’s Day totally ranges from being a public holiday in countries like Afghanistan to being a protest against the injustice done on Women in a few places. To summarize. It’s the Day to celebrate Womanhood around the world. 

As we all know there are few countries where Women are not given equal opportunities and their only role is considered to take care of the house. However, this needs to change because every Woman deserves to shine and equal opportunity should be given to a Woman as it’s given to a Man. 

For ages, Men have had more privileges in every aspect of life in a society which could be pay scale, social status, or voting rights percentage. We are living in the 21st century and the world is slowly moving towards gender balance.

About Women Empowerment

Empowering Women is a big responsibility, but it's also vital for gender equality. Furthermore, society benefits when Women are treated with respect and are not treated as second-class citizens. Women used to be limited in their houses and were not allowed to leave the house for employment before, but now things have drastically changed.

Their only source of income comes from their domestic obligations. However, civilization has evolved throughout time. Furthermore, this generation has high regard for Women and places a high value on them.

In many sectors, Women are now offered equal opportunities at work and are permitted to compete with, and sometimes even outperform, males. Women have begun to recognise their skills and abilities, and they are ready to walk out of their homes and contribute to the prosperity of their families and society as a whole.

Women are undoubtedly turning the world's attention to them. Also, it was previously impossible, but it is now doable, and they are doing so now. Women are achieving incredible heights and even travelling to space, as can be seen.

Furthermore, they are joining every field and succeeding in all of them, demonstrating their abilities. The most efficient approach to enhance communities, corporations, and countries is for Women to participate.

Furthermore, Women's participation strengthens peace accords, strengthens society, and makes economies more dynamic.

10 Cake Design Ideas to Celebrate Women’s Day in Style

International women’s day is just around the corner and with it coming, there will be chaos of events in schools, colleges, the corporate sector, and such other places. There will be functions happening with dance, singing, and other activities with a focus on empowering women. And no event can come to an end without a strong best 2 minute speech for women’s day .

Here’s a Women’s Day Speech in English

As I stand before you all on an occasion so special and worthy of celebrations, I feel immense happiness that we, as a whole, are making progress and women are getting the kind of respect they deserve.

More than a decade from today, International women’s day wasn’t celebrated this much and on such big scales. But slowly and steadily, people are understanding the importance of observing and celebrating Women’s Day. Socialist Party of America organised the first Women’s Day on February 28, 1909, in New York City. With more points in the coming year, it changed to 8th of March.

#InspireInclusion is the theme for women’s day 2024, and it fits just like the missing part of a map to the treasure. This campaign aims to foster a world enriched by diversity and equality. By inspiring both awareness and a sense of belonging, we empower women, creating a unified, empowering environment for all. Today, women of all ages dare to challenge the odds and orthodox mindset of society. Women choose to challenge and that’s why we have female bus drivers in government jobs and in the supreme power of the many multinational corporations.

For a woman who comes from a rural background and handling management positions in business, there were definitely quite some pools of challenges that she has conquered with grace and dignity to make a name for herself and to lead a team.

It would be an injustice to mention that parents today are bolder and understating and they let their girls do what they want without any restrictions. It is surely a women’s day special speech but not mentioning the input of men feels not good to me.

Those brothers who understand that their sisters are free to do whatever they want and always stand in support of their decisions, deserve applause. The mindset of husbands has also changed and the unprogressive thinking that women should make home rather than earning to make the home is being demolished at a decent rate.

I may sound like I’m overdoing it but we all know that a woman blesses two families with her selfless love and knows how to keep the relationships intact.

Most of the international women’s day speeches  focus on how working women are facing challenges and conquering them with their power and confidence. But, women who are homemakers deserve the same amount of appreciation. Working throughout their life without a stop and without any day off so that their families can live a life of comfort and ease; is a task that requires divine strength to bear, sacrifice, and give.

To end with some lovely words; all I can say is –

“Women are warriors fighting without swords and conquering through love.”

Wrap It Up Right

If you have been asked to give a motivational speech on women’s day, then take inspiration from what we’ve discussed above. As we move forward, let’s carry the spirit of International Women’s Day with us throughout the year. Let’s continue supporting, uplifting, and empowering women in every sphere of life. Let’s challenge stereotypes, fight bias, and broaden perceptions to create a more inclusive and gender-equal world.

We hope this space has ended your search for the best speeches on women’s day positively.

And, after the memorable event and such a generous short speech on women’s day, marking it ‘to be continued’ with a delicious women’s day cake is extremely heart-blooming.

Aaditya Rawal

I hope to put an engraving of my remembrance unfaded through years, decades, & centuries, powered by words!

Motivational Women's Day Speech - 10 Lines, Short and Long Speech

Motivational speech on women's day -.

Nowadays there is no place where women are not seen. Women are working everywhere even in offices, in school, in industries as well as at working sites. There was a time when women were not allowed to take education or seek employment. So to show their importance and significance, Women's Day is celebrated worldwide on 8 March. It provides a chance to consider how far we've come, to advocate for change, and to honour the bravery and tenacity of everyday women who have made exceptional contributions to the history of their nations and communities.

10 Lines On Women's Day

Every year on March 8, people all around the world commemorate International Women's Day. This day stands for the value of women in the world as well as their rights.

Women are still battling for rights in many parts of the world, and the women's rights movement and feminism movement have been around for more than a century.

In a world where males have predominated in all spheres of life, it is crucial to uphold current ideals and further their goals in order to build a fair and equal society free from gender discrimination.

Women are crucial to the development of both families and society.

One of the factors contributing to women's lack of access to equal opportunities is the pernicious culture of gender stereotypes.

India celebrates National Women's Day on February 13 of each year. Sarojini Naidu's birth anniversary is commemorated on this day.

Women flourish in their vocations because of their strong spirits. They make significant contributions to the country and the lives of their family members.

Up to this day, numerous government agencies and institutions put on events including street plays, campaigns, and self-defence classes.

On this day, women are given flowers and cards to make them feel special.

Everybody shows their appreciation for the women in their lives on International Women's Day.

Short Speech On Women's Day

Every year on March 8, people all over the world commemorate Women's Day. It's the day to recognise and honour women for their daily efforts toward achieving their personal and professional objectives.Various activities, such as marches or movements, are held all over the world to celebrate International Women's Day. In some nations, women do not receive equal treatment. Protests are held in various nations for the liberation of women.

A national holiday has been designated for Day. Women from all walks of life come together across cultural and racial divisions all around the nation to remember their struggle for peace, justice, equality, and development. The main themes of International Women's Day are self-worth and reaching one's full potential. In addition, in order for women to make substantial advancements in all facets of life, they must muster the strength to conquer all challenges. The idea that women's issues are unimportant is widespread in society.

Men have traditionally enjoyed greater privileges in society, whether it be through higher pay, higher social status, or greater voting rights. However, as we enter the twenty-first century, the world is gradually shifting toward gender parity. It is advancing toward equality for both sexes, which could include pay parity, social status equality, and voting rights parity for women. We all need to change because everyone deserves respect and equal opportunity since that is what it is to be a human.Therefore, it is fundamental to have a day that reaches out and aids in resolving all forms of discrimination that women face.

We all recognise the value of women. They can take on the roles of a loving mother, a daughter, etc. It's crucial to express your love and concern for the women in your life on International Women's Day. Women are entering every sector and excelling there, proving their ability. Women's participation is the most effective way to improve communities, organisations, and nations. Additionally, the inclusion of women strengthens social bonds, economy, and peace agreements.

Long Speech On Women's Day

March 8 is the day when we appreciate women all over the world for her hard work, for her achievement, for her freedom, for her struggle and so on. Women never play a single role throughout life. As a daughter she has to be smart, as a sister she has to be caring, as a wife she has to take care of relationships between both houses and the list is endless. International Women's Day offers us a chance to consider the challenges ahead, what has to be done in the fight for gender equality, and how we may best channel our group's energy.

Women in positions of authority and decision-making are still the exception, not the rule. Women's voices are still not heard in the majority of important choices made in this nation because there are not enough women in our legislatures or our boardrooms. Many individuals believe that women's roles are solely confined to domestic duties. This needs to change, though, as women should have the same freedom and opportunities as men in every aspect of life.

Significance of Women’s Day

The focus of International Women's Day is on having self-worth and attaining goals to the best of one's ability. In addition, women need to find the strength to overcome all obstacles in all areas of life in order to make significant progress. It is a common misconception in society that problems affecting women are not important. Many people think that there is no significant gender divide in society and that individual efforts are insufficient to change the gender gap. Women's Day is all about educating society about how each person must contribute in a unique way and transforming society for the better.

Reported by Anjali

International Women’s Day Speech : Women’s Day is celebrated around the world every year to embed an idea of the importance of Women. On International Women’s Day, various seminars and programs are arranged to signify the presence and importance of women. Speeches form a major part of Women’s Day events.

An influential speech represents your impact on the audience and puts your agenda first. Words do have a voice of their own, and it matters when you are describing a shared purpose of raising women’s power. So, if you are also looking for one of such influential speeches, we have it here for you.

We are here to present you a speech on International Women’s Day for anyone addressing or representing women. The speech will help you represent women’s power in different aspects and represent our shared purpose.

Speech on International Women’s Day

Good Morning to all the honourable guests, ladies and Gentleman

“It’s a great pleasure to celebrate this International Women’s Day with you all and share my thoughts on this day”.

“ Women are the real architect of the Society.” -Harriet Beecher Stowe

As Harriet Beecher Stowe, a famous American author, says, women really do build a society. They build not only themselves but a whole community. Yet history has often failed women to represent what a woman can be. There cannot be just a day to celebrate a woman. Every day should be a day where we respect the divinity of women.

International Women’s Day is celebrated every year with huge enthusiasm worldwide to celebrate women’s achievements in social, political, economic, and other fields of life. Today, women rule almost every field of life and work at par with men. We cannot deny, that, be it at home or work, they do it all with so much zeal and ace in each one of it in their way.

International Women’s Day was observed for the first time in 1911. Since then, every year on the 8th of March, womanhood is celebrated worldwide to honour all the astounding women in our lives and all the extraordinary women history has witnessed. This day is particularly observed to acknowledge the achievements of women in various aspects of life.

International Women’s day was created to put forward and express an idea to the world that each gender deserves to be treated equally. The day aimed to present the aspects of women’s life in a man’s world. To create changes in the mindset of the world. To create a positive impact on the world.

But why do we need a Women’s Day?

There’s a need to celebrate a women’s day because women are often subjected to preconceived perceptions of what they can do and what they cannot. They face biased behaviour of people and statistics show that education availability for women is still lower than for men.

Every four out of five women faces harassment at one point in her life. They are so many times likely to be a victim of Domestic Violence and sexual abuse in childhood. More than thirty thousand girls are forced into child marriage every single day and others get subjected to illegal trafficking and female genocides.

Pay according to gender continues, and men are still allowed to make major decisions about women, like abortion. In addition to this, other persisting factors still go unrecognized. So, we clearly need a day to start conversations and open agendas that need global attention.

“We share a common future and we are here to find a common ground so that we may help bring new dignity and respect to women and girls all over the world.” Hillary Clinton

Women’s journey from protesting on the streets to making the world celebrate International Women’s day was not easy. We celebrate this day today only because of the historical footsteps of great women who fought for their rights. So, when did this all-women movement, standing up for themselves, start? Let me take you back in time to be more grateful for the world you have today.

Women’s activism, or the fight for Women to attain equal rights, dates back to the late 1800s when the women of that time were fighting to get the right to vote for the leader of their choice. Also, there was a demand for the right of women to work and be a part of various training programmes, but till that time, women’s voices were treated inconsiderately. Women were not allowed to make their point and have a say in anything from politics to economics. They were not even allowed to speak at conferences.

So, the first campaign to provide equal rights to women started on 28th February 1908. An all-women strike by the garment workers against the working conditions these women were subjected to. It started with a basic labour movement, but the voices of those women left a mark at the beginning of a journey of self-respect.

Several other movements led by the suffragists and suffragettes of the Socialist Party of America in 1911 were witnessed in Western countries. Their movements did make an impact, and in 1919, women were given voting rights because of the support Congress got from these women during World War I.

It was only during the era of 1970s that the long fight for women’s rights became impactful enough to create an intensified movement. The demand for equal rights became strong, feminist action became powerful, and rallying became a common way to express disapproval against the patriarchal laws of Society. A decade later, women started switching roles and fixed themselves to men’s jobs, thriving to be considered equivalent to men and showing that the world does not require a gender label to do certain jobs. Well, they succeeded!

With the uprise of the new era, in the new millennial, the focus shifted to the organizations and made them more adaptive to women employees. Women were everywhere, in industries, science, and politics. There were women’s conferences, and this all-women network hugely enhanced with time. The world progressed, new visions were adapted, and a different insight was given a place.

Major companies started to include the female workforce and diversify their organizations, breaking gender stereotypes and biasing. It was only due to the constant efforts of the women community which paved the path for the acceptance of the other diversified genders and brought it to the attention of people that other gender groups like LGBTQ also deserve the rights similar to each one of us. The world actually started evaluating discrimination .

Women today definitely live in a better world than the women belonging to history. But there still are things that need to be addressed. Despite all the efforts, today, an average woman spends double the time working compared to men. They face atrocities of rape and intimidation for achieving what they truly desire.

Today, women hold the topmost positions in every sector and play the best roles in history. Now, men are standing up as allies to work for the upliftment of women, which is exactly what women from the 1800s would have imagined the world to be.

Why March 8th?

Only after World War II was International Women’s Day recognized to be celebrated officially. The date was chosen on the 8th of March to pay tribute to the great women’s revolution in Russia, which took place on 23 Feb 1917 (gregorian calendar), i.e., march as per the European calendar. So, the date was chosen. The United Nations acknowledged Women’s Day officially in 1977, two years after the declaration of the International Year of Women. The General Assembly legally adopted the resolution, claiming a UN Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace.

Every year, the UN sets up a theme for International Women’s Day. For this year, the United Nations Women have set up the theme as “Women for Tomorrow”. The theme covers and recognizes the efforts of women and the roles women played during the time of the Global Pandemic.

Women healthcare workers formed an important workforce in providing aid to people suffering from a pandemic. The women leaders of countries like New Zealand, Finland and Ethiopia have been recognized widely for their effective decision-making and actions to control the Pandemic.

Today, movements like #me too have created a mass movement, where each woman stands up equal to a man, without any fear. Women are empowered to say and many women are now in the lead roles but there are still others who get neglected. Women in different areas of life, still feel judged negatively and are largely influenced by the responsibility of caregiving.

So, this International Day, let us all show appreciation, respect, and love, to all the incredible women in our lives, be it your mother, wife, or daughter. Let us show, that we are proud of their efforts and pledge to create a world where women do not have to face any affliction!

When was the first Women’s Day celebrated?

The first women’s day is known to be celebrated in  1911 , on March 19, as a tribute to the revolution of 1848, where women demanded the right to work.

When were women granted the right to vote?

It was only during  1917-1919  that women were finally given the right to vote in Russia and Europe.

Are women equal in Sustainable Development Goals?

Yes, Women empowerment forms Goal 5 of the SDGs, to attain gender equality and empower women and girls as the  2030  Agenda.

Speech On International Women’s Day

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen!

As today is 8 th March, I heartily welcome all of you to the International Women’s Day ceremony of our ‘ABC NGO’. Today is a very special day for all of us as our NGO is dedicated towards empowering the deprived women across the country and we have decided to honour the NGO members with awards for their hard-work and dedication towards the NGO. But before we begin, I would like to say a few words on this occasion.

A woman is a most powerful and beautiful creation of the God. Behind our existence, there’s a woman. But somewhere in our societies, women are still underestimated and believe to be weaker than men. Although, a man exists only because he had been given birth by a woman and making a life is not an easy task and women are blessed with this graceful power of creating life.

There are many examples of women achieving heights in every professional area and all we need is the recognition and acknowledgment among people. This is a high time where we should recognize the power of women and help them to prove the world that they can do anything they want to.

Today, this special get-together is organized by our company on the auspicious occasion of International Women’s Day and this opportunity; I would like to say a few words. This day is celebrated every year in our company with utmost zeal and enthusiasm as our company praises the involvement of women in every part of the organization.

This day is especially dedicated to all the women and for the recognition of their amazing deeds. Women like Mother Teresa, Rani Lakshmi Bai etc are such great examples of the power and greatness that a woman carries. Womanhood involves love, affection, caring, power etc that comes under different personalities in life as mother, sister, wife etc.

Even in our lives, every woman plays an important role and the ultimate of them is of a mother. Her sacrifices are countless that she does for us just to see her child happy and for which we can never pay back as it is priceless. Everything a woman does for us in our lives sacrificing her comfort is always priceless and should be appreciated.

I would like to appreciate our company that encourages women to take part in their organization to make their own livelihood and stand on their own.

Respected Chief Guest, Guests of Honour, Directors of the ‘ABC for women’, Party organisers and the visitors!

First of all, I would like to welcome you all to the 7th annual Award Distribution Ceremony. Like every year, we have organised the event on the International Women’s Day as our Organisation is a Non-Profit Organisation that works for the development of deprived women in various parts of the country. Started just 7 years ago, it gives me immense pleasure to share that today we have 15 branches across India and the fame of our NGO has spread across the world. Since International Women’s Day is celebrated globally to honour the achievements of women in the field of Social, politics and economy; therefore this celebration is organized to give recognition to these personalities. We have several people working voluntarily for the NGO in order to contribute to the welfare of women and to the society subsequently.

Celebrated on 8 th March, every year, the significance of International Women’s Day is increasing year after year and has become a custom today. It appears as a celebration of respect, appreciation, love and care towards women. It is glad to know that Women’s Day is also celebrated in colleges and schools nowadays which instil respect and care for women in the minds of young brains since their childhood itself. It also forms an essential part of the curriculum in some schools in order to spread the knowledge and awareness of women empowerment, their position in the society and their achievements.

I have been given this opportunity to host the program and I am extremely glad since this is an opportunity for me to thank all those women who have played an important role in my life. I probably never wish verbally these ladies on the ‘International Women’s Day’, but deep inside my heart I always thank them for being in my life and shaping it the way it is today.

My mother, my sister and my wife are the three important women in my life, who have not only made me a better person and supported me through thick and thin, but also inspired me to join this NGO and do something fruitful for the society. On professional front, I met Mrs. A and Mrs D at this organisation and after witnessing their hard work and knowing about the hardships they have been through in the past, they have become the greatest inspirations for me. In fact, all the women colleagues and staffs here, irrespective of your position and posts, you all are wonderful creations of God because you not only manage the office well but also ensure that every need of your house is met perfectly. That’s the reason, our NGO always emphasize upon giving due honour to the women in their life. They need respect, care, support and motivation from us.

Today’s woman is no longer a dependent soul; she is Independent and self-reliant in every respect and is capable of doing everything. Let’s recognise the importance of their existence and motivate them for the future achievements.

Good Morning Friends!

We have gathered here to celebrate the International Women’s Day at our office; I am extremely glad that I have been given this opportunity to host the program and deliver a speech today. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the CEO, Board of Directors and the Management of this organisation which gives so much of importance to women empowerment at work and in the society and thus our company celebrates this event every year with utmost zeal and enthusiasm. It’s really an honour to be a part of this organisation.

International Women’s Day is celebrated across the world to pay honour to the great women of the society. Empowering women is very necessary for bringing gender equality. Those societies flourish well where women are given equal respect and are not taken for granted. Most of the conventional people still feel that women should be confined to household chores and should not step out for work, etc as that’s not their area of work; which shouldn’t be practiced in today’s society. Women today have got equal potential provided they are been trusted and valued. Today’s women realize their strengths and abilities and step out in order to contribute to the society and the world consequently.

Being a woman myself, it really feels nice to have a special day for women too when they can be appreciated and honoured. But I feel that woman should be respected not just because they are women, but also because they are individuals with their own identity. They contribute equally to the betterment of the society. If I can be little biased then I would say, if there is no woman on the earth then mankind would cease to exist because it’s a woman who brings life to this earth. Every woman is special whether she is working at home or office or doing both. She plays an important role in the upbringing of children and managing their home efficiently.

Well, like I said previously, our organisation gives utmost importance to gender equality and I am pleased to announce that the company is now associated with three different Non-Government Organisations that work for the women and children betterment. I have been given the responsibility to complete all the formalities and would be managing the relevant day to day activities. While I am very glad and feel honoured, I am also determined that together we’ll be able to help all those women who are deprived, needy or require support to stand shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts in the society.

We have lots of plans on the agenda and we will begin with making visits to the remote areas where education is still a dream for young girls. Not only do we plan to introduce education system in those localities in association with the NGOs, but we will also fund 50% of the total education cost. I am sure, this journey is going to be a learning experience for me but I would also need your good wishes and motivation.

Good morning everyone!

Welcome ladies to this special get together of ours on occasion of Women’s day. Though I believe that everyday should be dedicated to the celebration womanhood but we all know we would sound so unfair to men for this.. Just kidding.

International women’s day is the day that is specially dedicated to the women’s for praising them for the tremendous efforts that they put in for everyone. Presence of a woman has such a strong impact in everyone’s life. This world would have not been possible without this species. Woman is not only the one who is married or somebody who is beyond a certain age. Each feminine that is born has the inherited woman traits in herself. The special feelings of care, affection, endless and overwhelming love and many more. Women are the perfect entities to be celebrated.

We women should cherish the blessing of being a woman. I know at times in life we feel that we are only ones who have to make sacrifices or who have to let go their feelings and dreams for others linked to us, but, it is just the result of the power that god has given us. God created the feminine creature as a symbol of utmost affection that not only leads the perfect life for herself but also lays down the strongest base for others dreams as well.

That is why I said, this single 24 hour day is way too short for appreciating or recognizing the deeds that woman do. This day is specified as the day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural, political and personal achievements of a woman. Each one of us is so confident to know our weaknesses and work with the best of the efforts to overcome them. It seems so great to see when the reward and recognition posts go on declaring the ‘Top 100 women entrepreneurs’, ‘Top 20 women CEOs’, ‘Women leading the NGOs’, etc. Women are reaching great heights of recognition and working style. This day is dedicated to the parity discussion as well.

We should continue putting in all our efforts. There is no stance in which we women are less in comparison to men. It is just our mindset, changing our mindset and our actions is the first thing we should focus on. Our actions and thoughts will make us lead the great height of our dreams and further let the world believe us and our deeds. Women’s day for me, is just a hault that makes me realise the efforts we have put in throughout the 365 days for ourselves and all other people linked to us.

Each women should understand their importance and should have the courage to built in their efforts for their own progress. Happy women’s day to every beautiful women present here, on behalf of the entire organization I would like to thank you all for being a part of it and making it fulfill its vision of success.

Women power is incredible and cannot be expressed through few words.

Hello everybody, good morning to all beautiful personalities present here. You all must be knowing that this early morning we are gathered here to share our gratitude towards our women employees on this occasion of International Women’s day.

On behalf of the entire management and everybody present here, I would like to extend my thanks to all the ladies present here. You people are incredible in your own way. I am pretty sure that I will be short of words to express my gratitude for the womanhood. Entire feminine category present in this nation has lead this world to an extraordinary extent. This single day is way too concise to appreciate the things you people do on both personal and professional end of your lives. There is no limit to the work or efforts that a woman can put forward for her own progress as well as the progress of the people linked to her.

In the past decades women have been able to showcase themselves in such a perfect manner that mindset of people has widen to recognize the deeds done by women overall for themselves and the society. It is celebrated to enhance the worldwide awareness about women, their rights, their contributions, importance of education for them, their career opportunities and much more. Scope of celebration of women day cannot be defined as the deeds done by women as it can never ever be summed up. Talk about a relation and you will have endless efforts that the woman put in for it. Workfront or homefront everyplace has a special non replaceable role that the women plays.

Women have continuously strived through put in a strong image for themselves through the past decades. And, I will suggest you all to keep doing your best. You should stand strong and fight for your rights, you have all rights to further educate yourselves and enhance your skills, learn safety techniques and much more. Woman have been just like water, easy to fit on every role that they are offered for. Personal or professional, big or small, entrepreneurs or employees; each and every role has witnessed the perfect blend of women combination. We are overwhelmed to have you all in our organization, each of yours presence has enhanced the company’s progress.

Glad that we get this honour of recognizing and celebrating our efforts on this occasion of women day. Sorry, male employees but just see how special these women are that a special dedicated day is announced for them. We all should owe this responsibility to appreciate and respect every women present in our lives. They are the best blend of teachings and affections.

Happy women’s day to all you courageous and incredible women. Your presence is inexpressible in few words and so are your deeds. Each one of you has the perfect special role that you are playing in many lives. Without women the world and our lives are incomplete.

Thank you everyone for being a part of this occasion. Thank you all.

Good Morning everyone, Thanks for your get together here and giving your precious time, on this special occasion I am going to deliver a speech on International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day is celebrated with full enthusiasm all over the world. It has been observed since early 1990s but now it is celebrated every year on 8 th March. The agenda behind celebrating this day is to empower the women who has gone through number of hurdles all through her life be it their social, political, religious, and cultural rights simultaneously it also calls for “Gender Equality”.

No any single government or any association is responsible for the creation of this day instead it is made possible with the collective efforts of all those who cares about the human rights. This day reminds us of all the contributions and achievements of the women in the society. It is celebrated to show the respect, care and place we owe to them.

Thus International Women’s Day is all about unity, integrity, celebration, and reflection of struggles which is proven well over a century and continues to strengthen with the passage of time. We take many pledges but forget the actions that are being required to fulfill those pledges. In lieu of this International Women’s Day is being celebrated globally. We all are not born equal but by the grace of almighty we all are born with the same rights “Human Rights”. And thus have the right to be treated equally, right to seek equal education and other benefits from which the females have been deprived of since long.

Many past records can evidently prove that women’s have been doing great in many fields leaving behind the gentleman’s of the country. Cheers to the “Feminism” you yourself is the creator of your own identity.

Hello and warm good morning to our respected teachers, dear guardians and my fellow students. Today is the 8th of March, a day celebrated internationally as women’s day to show our appreciation, love and gratitude for everything that women do. And on this beautiful day, we have gathered here to celebrate the amazing women among us – our teachers, our friends and of course, ourselves! I am [name], your host for today, and I heartily welcome you all to [institute name]’s women’s day program. We have much fun and meaningful activities lined up for this event and I welcome you all to enjoy the event. Thank you. 

Women are mothers. Women are daughters. Women are sisters, friends, wives, aunts and grandmothers. Women are also CEOs, police officers, doctors, engineers, teachers, bankers, lawmakers and politicians. And they fit into all of these roles beautifully. For the longest time, patriarchy made women feel inferior to men. Women didn’t have equal rights and were treated like second-class citizens.

Now, after decades of activism, equality is becoming a reality and women are finally able to shine bright. And so, today is an important day! This day celebrates women – young and old, rich and poor, single and committed, housemakers and office goers – this day celebrates women as they are and for being who they are! 

Today, I, [name], your host for the event, wish you all a very happy international women’s day and welcome you all to [organization name]’s women’s day special program. I would like to especially thank our chief guest, Mrs. [name], for taking time out of her busy schedule to join us today. Thank you so much, ma’am. 

Everyone, we have a long list of fun and meaningful activities lined up for this event and I welcome you all to enjoy the event. Thank you. 

On this lovely occasion, I would like to invite our respected principal, Mr / Ms [name], to please come up on the stage and say a few words. Sir / Ma’am, please share your thoughts on women’s day with us. Thank you so much. 

After the Speech:

Indeed, women can be whatever they want to be! There is nothing one cannot do. Thank you so much for such an uplifting and inspiring message. Thank you, sir/ma’am. I would now request you to please take your seat. 

Women can be whatever they want to be. Women like Indira Gandhi, Kiran Bedi, Maya Angelou, Frida Kahlo and Malala Yousafzai prove to us that women are less than no one. These amazing women are role models for us who inspire us through their lives. And today, I am delighted to share the space with such an amazing woman, my role model, and our chief guest, Mrs [name]. Mrs [name] has been working with women who have suffered domestic violence, abuse and assault for over a decade.

She has worked with hundreds of such women and given them emotional, mental and financial support so that they can heal and stand up on their own feet. I feel honoured to have you here, ma’am. I would now request our beloved chief guest to please come up on the stage and say a few words on this occasion. Please, ma’am. Thank you. 

That was very inspiring and motivating. Thank you so much for your love and support, ma’am. Thank you. I would now request you to please take your seat. 

Women are birth givers. Our mothers carry us in their wombs for nine long months and go through intense pain to bring us into this world. And yet, women are called weak, inferior and less. To express the pain and suffering women go through in this society and to put to words their agony and hope, members of our drama troupe are going to perform a special act. This act is called [name of the act]. Please put your hands together to welcome them on the stage. Thank you. 

After the Performance:

Oh my! What a brilliant performance! I could feel every emotion, the anger, the pain, the agony and the hope. Hats off to you all for portraying the truth in such a beautiful manner. Thank you so much. Everyone, please give these talented kids a huge round of applause! You may now take your seats. 

Now, I would like to invite on the stage our dancer duo, [names]. They are going to perform a fusion dance to the song [song name]. Please welcome them with a huge round of applause. Thank you. 

What a lovely performance! You both did great! I loved how you integrated the emotions that a woman experiences throughout her life into your dance performance. It was beautiful! Thank you so much. Everyone, please give them a huge round of applause! 

The anchor can similarly welcome different acts on the stage and carry on with the program. 

Our students have presented us with such beautiful and heart-warming performances. Now, it is the time for our teachers! Yes, you heard it right! Our teachers have also prepared a performance for us. Aren’t you excited? YES! So, let’s put our hands together and welcome Mr / Ms [name of the teachers] on the stage. Thank you. 

Wow! I never knew Ms [name] was not just a mathematics genius but also an amazing singer! And Ms [name] played the piano so beautifully! I am so amazed! What a beautiful and soulful performance! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to prepare this. Thank you so much. Everyone, please give our beloved teachers a huge round of applause! Thank you. Teachers, you may now take your seats. 

Special Program (For NGOs)

A woman who has suffered abuse, trauma and violence in the past but chose not to give up is not a victim. She is a survivor. She is a hero, an inspiration for many other women. Today, we have with us five such women who didn’t let their circumstances win over them. They stood up for themselves and made sure they were heard. And they have in their own way, helped many other women find the courage and speak up against violence.

Today, we want to honour these brave women and show them our love and gratitude. I would like to request Ms [name 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5] to please come up on the stage. I would now request our chief guest to please come up on the stage and honour these amazing women with bouquets and gifts. Thank you. 

What a lovely, fun-filled day it has been! I hope we were able to make the women among us feel special and celebrated. I hope you all enjoyed our women’s day event today to the fullest. Thank you so much for attending the event and making it successful. A special thank you to all the guardians who joined us today. Your presence means a lot to all of us. I would also like to thank our dear students, teachers as well as the staff members who helped us with the performances and arrangements and without whom this event wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you all. 

Once again, a very happy women’s day! 

Thank you and have a good day. See you tomorrow. Take care. 

It has been an exciting and fun-filled day. I hope we were able to make the women among us feel special and celebrated. I hope that everyone here enjoyed the event to the fullest.

I would like to especially thank our chief guest, Mrs [name], for being here with us today. We truly appreciate your kindness, ma’am. Thank you everyone for your time and support.

This beautiful creation of the God! The angel on the earth makes our life a wonderful experience all together. Imagining life without a woman is quite hard-hitting. This angel shakes the cradle with one hand the earth with the other hand. The fact that all the great people of the world are born from the womb of a woman and it is a woman from whom those great people have taken their initial teachings. And that is the reason we have always emphasized upon giving the due respect to women in their life. And that is why women’s day is celebrated with so much of zeal and it has spread throughout the world.

To teach people the various roles played by women in different spheres of life in various organizations and educational intuitions and various national and international platforms, women’s day speeches are delivered. Here are some sample Women’s Day Essays for the upcoming event:

1. Celebrating Woman is a way of feeling gratitude to the each and every woman in one’s life, be it in the professional or the personal life. International Women’s day is observed every year on 8th of March and it is observed around the world to celebrate the velour of women. In most of the country the day has been observed as a national holiday. Women from various cultural and ethnic groups come together crossing all the boundaries to remember their struggle of many decade for peace, justice, equality and development. The day allows women to raise her voice for an equal opportunity in whatever field she wants to participate in; same a man is provided with.

2. The bottom line of celebrating women’s day is due to the wide spread differences in various fields- the pay difference of 14.9% between men and women, only 21.4% of seats for women in parliament around the world, lack of awareness for women education and many more.

International women’s Day all about feeling women realize their worth and giving them boost to achieve as per their actual potential. On this day the world unites to appreciate their courage to cross all the hurdles and make such tremendous improvement in all most all the spheres of life. Besides that, it is the most important thing to be given emphasis is the work that still needs to be done to fill that gap completely that had existed from ages.

3. A general myth that exists in the society is that issues related to women empowerment can only be addressed at an infinitesimally slower pace. Many people out there in society believe that the gender gap not really exits and some are also of the belief that the efforts made by individuals cannot actually make difference to the gender gap that exists in the society. These beliefs have over the years debilitated the power of women. The first in this Endeavour to eradicating this deep rooted menace is realizing that the problem can only be identified and solved by interacting with the people who are actually irrational taboos of the society. On this day we must realize that every single person’s contribution towards fighting a threat of the society counts. International women’s day is all about being aware of the fact that each individual has to work in their own way for changing the ugly face of the society.

The Greatest Speeches Given by Women, for Women

Because words have the power to evoke emotions and transform the course of history

Speeches throughout history, and the careful articulation of words have the power to evoke emotional responses. They have the power to transform arguments into persuasive messages that compel listeners to take action.

And that's what these inspirational women have done. So as we celebrate International Women's Day, we've rounded up the most inspirational speeches that have shifted the course of history for women for the better.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1850 – 1982)

Writer and women’s rights activist, “our girls” , 1880.

“The coming girl is to be healthy, wealthy, and wise. She is to hold an equal place with her brother in the world of work, in the colleges, in the state, the church and the home. Her sphere is to be no longer bounded by the prejudices of a dead past, but by her capacity to go wherever she can stand. The coming girl is to be an independent, self-supporting being, not as to-day a helpless victim of fashion, superstition, and absurd conventionalisms.”

Emmeline Pankhurst  (1858 - 1928)

Women's rights activist and leading suffragette, freedom of death, 1913.

“I am here as a soldier who has temporarily left the field of battle in order to explain - it seems strange it should have to be explained - what civil war is like when civil war is waged by women. I am not only here as a soldier temporarily absent from the field at battle; I am here - and that, I think, is the strangest part of my coming - I am here as a person who, according to the law courts of my country, it has been decided, is of no value to the community at all; and I am adjudged because of my life to be a dangerous person, under sentence of penal servitude in a convict prison…If we win it, this hardest of all fights, then, to be sure in the future it is going to be made easier for women all over the world to win their fight when their time comes.”

Margaret Sanger (1879 – 1966)

Women’s rights activist and social reformer, the morality of birth control, 1921.

“We ask the church to have more confidence in women. We ask the opponents of this movement to reverse the methods of the church, which aims to keep women moral by keeping them in fear and in ignorance, and to inculcate into them a higher and truer morality based upon knowledge. And ours is the morality of knowledge. If we cannot trust woman with the knowledge of her own body, then I claim that two thousand years of Christian teaching has proved to be a failure.

“We stand on the principle that birth control should be available to every adult man and woman. We believe that every adult man and woman should be taught the responsibility and the right use of knowledge. We claim that woman should have the right over her own body and to say if she shall or if she shall not be a mother, as she sees fit. We further claim that the first right of a child is to be desired. While the second right is that it should be conceived in love, and the third, that it should have a heritage of sound health.”

Bell Hooks (1952 – 2021)

Author and social activist, feminism is for everybody, 2000.

“Imagine living in a world where there is no domination, where females and males are not alike or even always equal, but where a vision of mutuality is the ethos shaping our interaction. Imagine living in a world where we can all be who we are, a world of peace and possibility. Feminist revolution alone will not create such a world; we need to end racism, class elitism, imperialism. But it will make it possible for us to be fully self-actualized females and males able to create beloved community, to live together, realizing our dreams of freedom and justice, living the truth that we are all “created equal.” Come closer. See how feminism can touch and change your life and all our lives. Come closer and know first-hand what feminist movement is all about. Come closer and you will see: feminism is for everybody.”

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) 

Women’s and civil rights activist, ain’t i a woman 1851.

“That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?”

Queen Elizabeth II (1953 – 1603)

Queen of england, on the spanish armada, 1958.

'I know I have the body of a weak, feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.'

Malala Yousafzai (1997 – )

Female education activist, nobel lecture, 2017.

“We wanted to make our parents proud and prove that we could also excel in our studies and achieve those goals, which some people think only boys can.But things did not remain the same. When I was in Swat, which was a place of tourism and beauty, suddenly changed into a place of terrorism. I was just ten that more than 400 schools were destroyed. Women were flogged. People were killed. And our beautiful dreams turned into nightmares.

“Education went from being a right to being a crime. Girls were stopped from going to school. When my world suddenly changed, my priorities changed too. I had two options. One was to remain silent and wait to be killed. And the second was to speak up and then be killed. I chose the second one. I decided to speak up.”

Emma Watson (1990 – )

Actor, feminist and humanitarian, heforshe launch campaign, 2014.

“We don’t often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes but I can see that that they are and that when they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence. If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.

“Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong…It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as two opposing sets of ideals.If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by what we are—we can all be freer and this is what HeForShe is about. It’s about freedom.

“I want men to take up this mantle. So their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice but also so that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too – reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned and in doing so be a more true and complete version of themselves.”

Sylvia Rivera (1951 - 2002)

Lgbtq activist, y’all better quiet down, 1973.

“Y’all better quiet down. I’ve been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail. Have you ever been beaten up and raped and jailed? Now think about it. They’ve been beaten up and raped…. The women have tried to fight for their sex changes or to become women…. they do not write women, they do not write men, they write ‘STAR’ because we’re trying to do something for them.

“I have been to jail. I have been raped. And beaten. Many times! By men, heterosexual men that do not belong in the homosexual shelter. But do you do anything for me? No. You tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs. I will not put up with this shit. I have been beaten. I have had my nose broken. I have been thrown in jail. I have lost my job. I have lost my apartment for gay liberation and you all treat me this way?”

Short and Long Paragraphs on International Women’s Day

Paragraph 1 – 100 words.

Each year on 8 th March, International Women’s Day is commemorated. In the year 1975, first Women’s Day was celebrated and since ever it is celebrated across the globe. The suffrage of women based on their employment and gender-based discrimination leads to the origin of International women’s Day.

The symbolic representation of International Women’s Day is the Venus symbol (a purple coloured looping circle). It is commonly used for female gender representation.

What Purple Colour Depicts in IWD Symbol?

The symbol of IWD carries a purple colour. Historically purple colour is used for equality and dignity. So, the United Nations has adopted Purple colour for IWD logo.

Paragraph 2 – 120 Words

International Women’s Day is celebrated for securing women’s rights across the globe. From historical days, women are fighting for their rights. IWD is carrying a tale of women’s struggles in a patriarchal society.

In 1908, working women in New York came out on the streets for their working hours and less pay. In 1909, the Socialist Party of America chooses 28 February as there National Women’s Day. After this event in 1910, Clara Zetkin (German leader of working women in the UN) proposed the idea of International Women’s Day for each country around the globe.

By following her opinion UN adapted this idea and declared 19 March as International Women’s Day. In World War-I, International Women’s Day was witnessed on the last Sunday of February, in 1913 after a mutual discussion with United States International Women’s Day was declared on 8th March. In 1975, the USA celebrated the first International Women’s Day on a huge level.

Paragraph 3 – 150 Words

International Women’s Day is a global event dedicated to the rights of women in our society. In some countries, it is declared as an official holiday. There are various processions, movements and sequences of the event organized globally. Let’s have a look at it:

In Media: On International Women’s Day, media conducts various television shows based on women. They invite famous women celebrities from politics, film-industry, NGOs, etc for sharing their journey of life and experiences.

In Social Media: Social Media Platforms shares various women based inspirational stories. People share their experiences by pictorial or message representation. Famous Search engine Google also pays respect towards IWD and changes its Doodle on the day.

Paragraph 4 – 200 Words

International Women’s Day is globally marked on 8 th March. IWD is an appeal to the world for equal treatment of women in our society. World War-I is said as the turning point for the International Women’s Day.

Message and Themes: Like other events, IWD is also commemorated with the theme. It represents the annual agenda for women’s welfare around the globe.

The Year 2020 is looking forward to the celebration of IWD and it will be celebrated with the theme of “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights”.

Women are seen as household workers. Traditionally Indian mindset treats women as a good mother or a good housewife and they don’t even have provided many opportunities for career building. This is the sad reality of women’s life. Women are getting empowered and strong by the passage of time but unfortunately, still, there is a need for social awareness.

Being a part of this society, how somebody can discriminate them on the basis of gender? For all of these reasons, a global event is specially celebrated for reminding their position in society. Women’s security and safety are one of the big global challenges.

Paragraph 5 – 250 Words

International Women’s Day is annually celebrated on 8th March. It talks about women’s equality and dignity. Women’s rights are always been a sensitive topic. Historical events represent incidents where women were oppressed. They were driven to live a marginalized life. The Irony was that working women were paid less in comparison to the male staff. Instead of their working duration was same as the male staff but they were less benefitted in comparison with them. For all of these reasons, various women groups raise their voices against this social injustice.

In modern days, still, a reflection of patriarchy society can be seen everywhere. If we talk about Bollywood, actresses are less paid than actors. These smaller things silently tell gender-based discrimination.

Besides these gender-based discriminations, women’s security is also one of the biggest challenges around the globe.

Emotionally women are called the toughest human. Various iconic women around the world are breaking the stereotype mindset of society. Status of women society of a particular country should be a parameter of their growth.

What is the Message behind International Women’s Day?

International Women’s Day spreads the message of women’s equality. The annual celebration of IWD encourages people to think about the role of women in our society. Today women are finding their own way for career building. We don’t have to cage them up in the home. They are mean to be respected. It tells that every woman from each caste, creed, community, religion, social status, etc is needed to be treated equally.

Speech: UN Women: enabling, influencing, supporting and empowering

Opening statement of un women executive director sima bahous to the annual session of the executive board, june 18, 2024.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to LinkedIn
• Share to E-mail

Welcome to our Annual Session where together we consider our achievements, address pressing challenges, and ensure our best efforts toward peace, prosperity and progress for all women and girls.

I thank Executive Board President, H.E. Markova Concepción Jaramillo, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Panama to the United Nations, for her leadership as President of the Executive Board of UN Women during the first half of this year and also today.

As Her Excellency transitions to new endeavours, we recognize her invaluable contribution and unwavering commitment to our shared mission. Excellency, we look forward to working with your successor for the remainder of 2024; and wish you the best going forward.

I also thank the Vice-Presidents of the Bureau, His Excellency Mr. Jonibek Ismoil Hikmat, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Tajikistan; Her Excellency Ms. Halley Christine Yapi Bah, Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative of Côte d’Ivoire; His Excellency Mr. Andreas Von Uexküll, Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative of Sweden; and Her Excellency Ms. Joanna Sylwia Skoczek, Deputy Permanent Representative of Poland. I thank you all for your steadfast support.

I congratulate the President, Vice-Presidents and distinguished delegates of the Executive Board for their successful field visit to Moldova, Ukraine, and Poland. They witnessed firsthand UN Women’s work and impact in Moldova and in Ukraine.

I attended last week the Urgent Humanitarian Response Conference for Gaza – A Call for Action where UN Women brought a gender perspective to the response to a most dire situation. I welcome the recent Security Council Resolution 2735 and I hope that it will be fully implemented. The need for a permanent ceasefire, the release of all hostages, unhindered, immediate and gender-responsive humanitarian access, and an unwavering commitment to a two-state solution have never been more urgent.

The gender lens that UN Women brings to crises response is no less imperative in Ukraine, where fighting is still ongoing. Last week, at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Berlin, we launched the Alliance for Gender-Responsive and Inclusive Recovery , working to ensure women´s voices are leading in early recovery efforts. We thank Germany and all our partners for joining the Alliance.

UN Women is proud to stay and deliver across crises contexts, even in the most dire of circumstances.

In Afghanistan, where 1000 days have passed since girls could access secondary education. 

In Sudan, where the window to act for peace narrows with each passing day.

In Haiti, Myanmar, the Sahel and Yemen and elsewhere, we continue to work towards peace in all these contexts, and more.

Where there is crisis, women step up. 

Women’s rights organizations working in the most difficult circumstances are raising their voices, drawing the world’s attention to gender-based violence and the collapse of essential services.

Crisis is never gender-neutral. But as the demands of crisis outpace our resources to respond, we must alongside recognition of vulnerability, also realize that there is no better crisis-response investment than in women´s agency, voices and leadership.

The 12 to 18 months before us may be a genuine inflection point. 

We will see the Summit of the Future, Beijing+30 and CSW69, and the 25 th anniversary of Security Council Resolution 1325.

It is, I am sure, our shared ambition that Beijing+30 be a true milestone in the journey to equality. We are determined as UN Women to play our part.

We know that we cannot and will not meet that ambition with rhetoric. Let us instead be judged by results. 

We will seek to bring the spirit of the Beijing Conference to our commemorations, and to make it real and relevant to young people in particular. 

We will push for greater investment in women’s rights organizations, especially those working with the most marginalized. 

But most of all, we will hold ourselves, collectively, accountable for real change in the lives of women and girls as the only real way to commemorate 30 years of the Beijing Platform for Action. That is my challenge to you as Member States, and my challenge to us all. 

We face this challenge at a time not only of crisis but also of change.

In this year of elections, we already see new governments and political configurations taking shape. 

Citizens, and in particular women and girls, will watch in the hope that the cause of gender equality will be at the heart of these new political projects; that promises made become promises kept; that fears of pushback become realities of pushing forward; and that real progress is made.

We should feel the weight and pressure of these hopes and be ever more determined to live up to them . And we should be honest that at present we are not.

Barely half of the world’s women participate in the global workforce, compared with nearly three out of every four men.

When they do work, women earn an average 20 per cent less than men.

1 in 10 women live in extreme poverty.

614 million women and girls live in conflict-affected areas and are nearly 8 times more likely to live in poverty than men. 

In every region of the world, women and girls are more food insecure. Climate change will leave 236 million more women and girls hungry by 2030, twice as many as men.

And on average, over five women or girls are killed every hour worldwide by someone in their own family.

It really does not need to be like this. Through our shared efforts change is happening and happening now.

Earlier this year, in Chile, I met young women who, through UN Women´s partnership with the European Southern Observatory, are becoming space engineers, a field still 90 per cent male.

In Türkiye last month I saw how UN Women´s partnership with Government, civil society and the private sector in Kahramanmaras has created safe spaces for women, a community structure, community leadership opportunities, and income generation.

It is my privilege as the UN Women Executive Director to have witnessed these examples and much more. 

It is also my privilege to share my Annual Report. It provides powerful examples of the ways in which we have enabled, influenced, supported and empowered.

It describes how we carried out our coordination role in the UN system. 

From our position in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) we ensured that some 80 per cent of humanitarian response plans included gender equality priorities.

With UN Women’s support, 80 per cent of United Nations Country Teams that developed Cooperation Frameworks in 2023 prioritized gender equality.

The Secretary-General’s Gender Equality Acceleration Plan places gender equality and women’s rights at the centre of the United Nations’ agenda and work across human rights, development, peace and security. The Plan’s success will depend on partnership and collaboration with and across the Executive Boards and more widely with Member States, civil society and other stakeholders. We look forward to working with all of you to make it a reality.

In our normative role, as a result of UN Women’s advocacy, the Security Council integrated language on women, peace, and security into 55 per cent of its resolutions in 2023.

We worked extensively with our partners to advance legal rights for women and girls. As a result, in 78 countries, 2.8 billion women and girls now have a more supportive legislative and policy environment. This included supporting the adoption, revision or repeal of 248 laws across 39 countries, home to 1.4 billion women and girls; and in 15 countries supporting the adoption of comprehensive, coordinated strategies for preventing violence against women.

UN Women helped strengthen statistical systems in 58 countries, to ensure statistical systems include the priorities of women and girls. Policies in 32 countries are now based on gender data and statistics, because of UN Women’s support. 

And over nine and a half million women, across 79 countries, including many survivors of violence and internally displaced women and refugees, accessed information, goods, resources and/or services through our programmes of cooperation.

UN Women’s Strategic Plan emphasizes the importance of the women’s movement and grassroots organizations. 

That is why, in 57 countries, UN Women directly disbursed some $110 million for their crucial work, often in the most difficult of circumstances of conflict and crises.

Generation Equality continues to drive commitments, resources, and accountability and has spurred $47 billion of investment to date.

We implemented a record of $1.09 billion over the first two years of our Strategic Plan, a testament to the confidence of our funding partners and the programme partners with whom we deliver.

85 per cent of Strategic Plan development results indicators and 78 per cent of organizational efficiency and effectiveness indicators for which we had data showed good performance in 2023.

UN Women also received a twelfth unqualified audit opinion from the United Nations Board of Auditors and met both 2022 and 2023 milestones for the implementation of internal and external audit recommendations.

Our funding partners expressed their growing trust in us with increases in both regular and other resources. 

Importantly, for only the third time since our establishment, our regular resources grew faster than other resources. 

I am grateful for this clear expression of trust and commitment to the Funding Compact and the decisions made under the Structured Dialogue in this esteemed Executive Board. 

This year, as four years ago, my Annual Report is presented alongside the headline results of our Mid-Term Review (the MTR). 

The MTR highlighted the impact of our work on leaving no one behind, social norms change, climate change, private sector engagement and technology and innovation. 

It acknowledged our achievements in coordination within the UN family but also pushed us to find even stronger incentives for joint work.

The MTR also highlighted advances in organizational efficiency and effectiveness including strengthened internal governance and risk management and control processes. At the same time, it identified the need to better deliver, measure and communicate country and global level results. 

The MTR informs our thinking as we begin the preparation of our next Strategic Plan, where we will seek, again, a major evolution in the way we implement our mandate. We look forward to working with you on this.

Since I took office nearly three years ago, you had my promise that I would ensure transparency and trust; that UN Women 2.0 would be stronger, better integrated, more efficient and effective. A part of this journey is pivoting our focus to countries and regions, including moving our personnel closer to those we serve.

We have already delegated more authority to the regional level and increased resources to our regional and country offices, and a commitment to remain compliant with our core formula.

I am pleased now to share with you the updated timeline of this process and its next steps.

Over the past several months, we have been undertaking an extensive analysis of global functions that can be potentially relocated from New York to other duty stations - that will generate efficiencies as well as greater effectiveness, being closer to our partners and in time zones covering most of our offices. 

We are also consulting with our sister agencies who have conducted similar processes and will continue to use their lessons learned in our decisions and their implementation. We intend to make significant progress in terms of decisions on relocating global functions during the course of this year, with the actual relocation expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Communication, both with our personnel and Staff Council representatives, as well as with the Executive Board will remain an important element of this process of pivoting our focus to countries and regions. This dialogue will be intensified over the coming months as we consider how we can most effectively support results for women and girls at the country level. 

We have a busy session ahead of us with an unprecedented seven decisions to agree, covering my annual report on the strategic plan, evaluation, the ethics function, United Nations Development System reforms, preventing sexual abuse and sexual harassment, and the joint report of the JIU on governance of the Executive Boards.

I look forward to all these discussions and to arriving at productive decisions that will strengthen us in the crucial months ahead.

Our Board is our closest partner and our most honest friend. I thank you all for your partnership and for your collaboration.

It is our job, together, to conduct the business of our agenda, but also to continue to pursue the mandate we collectively hold so dear. 

We will do so into the Summit of the Future, into Beijing+30, CSW69, the 25 th anniversary of Security Council Resolution 1325 next year, and the crucial acceleration of efforts to meet the 2030 Agenda and in particular SDG5. We will do so to preserve the credibility of the promises we make, and to deliver for women and girls. 

It is our job, together, to recruit voices alongside ours, so that the movement of equality grows and becomes ever more unstoppable.

And it is our job, together, to make this moment of inflection one we will collectively look back on with pride. We can, we must, and we will.

I thank you.

A Proclamation on Juneteenth Day of Observance,   2024

On June 19, 1865, freedom finally came for the 250,000 enslaved people of Texas.  That day, which would become known as Juneteenth, the Army arrived to enforce what had already been the law of the land for two and a half years — the Emancipation Proclamation.  Today, we recognize that Juneteenth not only marks the end of America’s original sin of slavery but also the beginning of the work at the heart and soul of our Nation:  making the promise of America real for every American.

One of my proudest moments as President was signing into law Juneteenth as a new Federal holiday — the first Federal holiday to be established since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day four decades prior.  Juneteenth is an acknowledgment of the truth of our Nation’s history.  It is about realizing the idea that America was founded on:  All people are created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout their lives.  It is about the generations of brave Black leaders and selfless activists who never let us walk away from that idea, including Ms. Opal Lee, whom I awarded the Medal of Freedom for her work as the grandmother of Juneteenth, and former State Representative Al Edwards, who authored the bill to designate it a holiday in Texas.

My Administration is working to ensure we continue to deliver on that idea — creating a country that truly stands for freedom, justice, dignity, and opportunity for all.  Today, record numbers of Black Americans have jobs and health insurance, and Black business ownership is growing at the fastest pace in over 30 years.  We are investing more money than ever in Black families and communities.  That includes the funding we are delivering to support predominantly Black neighborhoods that had been divided and left behind by segregation and racial discrimination, the checks we delivered that reduced Black child poverty to the lowest rate in history, the changes we have made to the appraisals process to root out biases that put Black homeowners at a disadvantage, and the over $16 billion investment in Historically Black Colleges and Universities so that we can ensure the next generation of Black leaders has equal opportunities for a quality education and pathways for economic mobility.  We are working to rebuild and strengthen all of America by removing every lead pipe across our country, delivering affordable high-speed internet, forgiving $167 billion in student loan debt, and creating good-paying jobs that you can raise a family on.  We are creating a new sense of pride and dignity in communities across the country.

As we work to make history, my Administration is also working to tell our Nation’s history instead of erasing it.  That is why I signed a law, which had been more than 100 years in the making, to designate lynching as a Federal hate crime.  I  designated the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument to preserve historic sites and cultural resources in Mississippi and Illinois so that we never forget the brutal lynching of Emmett Till in Mississippi in 1955 and the subsequent courage of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, who made sure our Nation would never forget her son.  I have honored some of our country’s greatest Black scholars, humanitarians, and artists, who dare to tell the good, bad, and truth of our Nation.  We are writing new chapters of our history, and I am proud to have the most diverse Administration ever to tap into the full talents of our Nation — including the first Black woman Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris — and to have appointed the first Black woman as a Justice on the United States Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson.  Meanwhile, we are also working to secure the right to vote — with which anything is possible.

On Juneteenth, may we celebrate the essence of freedom that galvanized the country, the progress we have made in our Nation, and all that is possible when we march forward together.  May we all recommit to redeeming the very soul of America — choosing love over hate, unity over division, and progress over retreat.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 19, 2024, as Juneteenth Day of Observance.  I call upon the people of the United States to acknowledge and condemn the history of slavery in our Nation and recognize how the impact of America’s original sin remains.  I call on every American to celebrate Juneteenth and recommit to working together to eradicate systemic racism and inequity in our society wherever they find it.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth.

                             JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.
