On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the New York women & women around the world who shaped history and led the path forward. New York State is committed to supporting women in both policy & practice.

Last year, we tackled pay equity. This year, we're tackling economic inequities at every level and pushing to eliminate the #PinkTax.

Last year, New York extended the statute of limitations for 2nd & 3rd degree rape. Now we're working to close the rape intoxication loophole.

Today on #InternationalWomensDay ,we celebrate all the amazing women in Lagos state. Women are an embodiment of strength, wisdom and grace. There's no limit to what a woman can accomplish.

#EachforEqual

The Lagos state government is committed to ensuring women reach the top of their many individual aspirations. Let’s look at some of the ways we are driving the #EachForEqual goal.

Lagos state has one of the most inclusive cabinets in the country. We believe not in tokenism but in the fact that women are great leaders.

We also have various empowerment programmes specially targeted at supporting formerly neglected female groups.

ASMR Director, Dr Lila Landowski @rockatscientist, on #IWD2020:
“As a neuroscientist, sometimes I think of how far we’ve come but how far we’ve yet to go. Up until 1966 women were expected to resign from their work when they were married...

...Ruby Paine Scott, one of the pioneers of radio astronomy, made her big discoveries because she was able to work thanks to keeping her wedding a secret...

...Today, 50% of science, tech, engineering med and maths graduates are females, but there’s just 16% of women in the top jobs. This is disappointing, because evidence suggests that diversity is great for productivity.”

Thank God we don’t look like what we have been through. In January 2020, I joined the legions of women in South Africa whose right to safety and justice had to be upheld by a court of law. My crime: I did not respond to WhatsApp messages on my phone from a stranger. #IWD2020

Gender Based Violence has no bounds: no age, demeanor, class, access, education, public standing, colour will protect you from it. It’s not a matter of IF, it’s a matter of WHEN it will affect you directly. It’s waiting at the supermarket, in the boardroom, in your DMs. #IWD2020

Reporting any form of violation as a woman in South Africa is an extreme sport. First, you have the dig deep for the courage to make your violation known. Second, you have to remove any doubt in your own mind it happened to YOU. #IWD2020 #EachforEqual

Journée internationale des droits des femmes.
Nous remercions @MinouChrystayl et tous ceux qui oeuvrent pour définir, promouvoir et défendre l'égalité sociale, politique, culturelle et économique entre les sexes différents. #IWRD2020 #IWD2020 #EachForEqual

Merci à elle en particulier parce qu'elle nous rappelle au quotidien pourquoi ce combat est important.

Même le choix des mots pour en parler a un impact.

Nous espérons qu'en nous exprimant ici, nous aurons les mots appropriés. 🙏🏾

Ce combat n'est pas seulement le leur, il est celui de tous.

Chacun d'entre nous, au quotidien :
Se doit d'être féministe.
Se doit de défendre cette égalité so-cu-po-eco.
Se doit de faire un pas en avant vers cet idéal qui ne devrait pas en être un.

The theme of #IWD2020 is #EachforEqual, because an equal world is an enabled world. Today’s #SundayScience features a few differences in the way men and women are wired. Being aware of these facts may help navigate the differences better, and strive towards #EachforEqual

Disclaimer first: These differences are more averages and typical conditions. They don’t necessarily characterise every man or woman #SundayScience

Genetically, the DNA of men and women is 98.5% identical. The remaining differences give each gender certain unique strengths #SundayScience

"On #IWD2020 I acknowledge the critical role of those that have worked tirelessly towards closing the gap to achieve gender equity. I am reminded of the wonderful people who have supported me to achieve my goals...

...I am humbled to see the wonderful achievements of many inspiring people in health and medical research that identify as women. I hope the advances that have been made to date in this area remind everyone to be brave...

...and have the courage to challenge stereotypes towards making the future more equitable to support everyone to reach their full potential."

@TheASMR1

ASMR Director Dr Kiri Beilby @KiriBeilby on #IWD2020: "When I was growing up, being a woman in science was not perceived as desirable.
It was not ladylike.
Feminine. Attractive.
It was hard (could I even cope?)
It wasn't a career conducive with having kids.
There were few...

...female role models to aspire to. Thankfully, due to the commitment of women & men in all sectors, these ideas are dissolving, but there is still work to be done! The number of grant submissions and the amount of awarded funding is still skewed towards men in medical science...

...increasingly so with seniority. On IWD I will be celebrating how far we've come, and recognise how far we can still go to truly achieve equity.”

Coercive Control & Virtual Mobbing

@CCCBuryStEd

For International Women’s Day, I think of the women who were let down.

I think of the women who have been silenced by those who claim to hear but fail to listen.

I think of the women who were told that they would be heard, if they reported their assault.
But weren’t.

#IWD2020

#EachforEqual

I think of the women who were told that #coercivecontrol is a crime, that they should report and their perpetrator would be held accountable.
But were told there was no *evidence*
