Strong Woman – Strong Society
Step forward in solidarity for International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025 on March 8 to help #AccelerateAction.
At the current rate of progress, it will take until 2158, which is roughly five generations from now, to reach full gender parity, according to data from the World Economic Forum.
Focusing on the need to Accelerate Action emphasizes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres.
The EU-Azerbaijan partnership has supported numerous EU-funded projects aimed at promoting gender equality. These initiatives extend beyond empowering women, also engaging men and children to foster a more inclusive and balanced society. Throughout the “Strong Woman, Strong Society” campaign, inspiring stories of beneficiaries will be highlighted, showcasing the real impact of these projects. Their experiences reflect the power of collaboration, opportunity, and change in advancing gender equality.
So, together, let’s Accelerate Action to speed up the rate of progress worldwide.
