Women in Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET): Unlocking Digital Empowerment - CSW68 Side Event.

Recent strategic responses to achieve gender equality, empowerment and poverty alleviation are programs that promote digital literacy and engaging women in entrepreneurial skills building through digital platforms, which included facilitation of access to resources for starting and growing small enterprises. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, 'going digital' was the most practical way to facilitate transfer and movements of information, training, structured lessons, etc.

The proposed side event intends to highlight digital programs for women that are transformative when built within an ecosystem of "business skills building, access to capital, coaching + mentoring and network building."

Día Internacional de la Mujer 8 de marzo

Actualmente el Día Internacional de la Mujer es celebrado en muchos países del planeta. Es una fecha en que las damas son reconocidas por sus éxitos sin que importen las divisiones, ya sean por el país, raza, lingüísticas, por la cultura, financieras o gubernamentales. Dicho festejo se llevó a cabo por vez primera en los movimientos laborales a principios del siglo XX en América del Norte y en toda Europa.

Desde esos previos tiempos, el Día Internacional de la Mujer ha admitido una nueva dimensión global, que se ha fortalecido en 4 secciones del mundo de las Naciones Unidas, y ha ayudado a que la celebración sea un punto de congregación para ocasionar apoyo para los derechos de la mujer.

1909. El 1er Día de la Mujer se celebró en los Estados Unidos el día 28 de febrero. El Partido Socialista de Estados Unidos designó este día en representación a la huelga de los empleados de la fabricación del año 1908 en Nueva York, en donde las mujeres protestaron contra las situaciones laborales.

1910. La Internacional Socialista, reunida en Copenhague, estableció un Día Internacional de la Mujer, de carácter global, para honrar al movimiento por los derechos de las mujeres y para edificar soporte para alcanzar el voto global para la mujer.

1911. Como resultado del empuje de Copenhague, el Día Global de la Mujer se llevó a cabo por vez primera el 19 de marzo en Alemania, Dinamarca, Austria y Suiza, donde aproximadamente más de un millón de damas y hombres acudieron a las audiencias.

Entre los años 1913 y 1914. El Día Internacional de la Mujer igualmente se transformó en un sistema para protestar contra la 1ª Guerra Mundial. Incluido a este movimiento por la no violencia, las damas rusas conmemoraron su 1er Día Internacional de la Mujer el domingo final de febrero.

El año de 1917. En contra de el telón de fondo del conflicto, las mujeres en Rusia decidieron nuevamente rendir protestas y hacer un paro por “Pan y Paz” el domingo último de febrero (que cayó el ocho de marzo en el calendario gregoriano).

El año 1975. A lo largo de el Año Internacional de la Mujer, la ONU comenzó a conmemorar el Día Internacional de la Mujer el día 8 de marzo.

1995 La Declaración y Plataforma de Acción de Beijing, un documento de ruta histórica firmada por 189 gobiernos, se enfocó en doce zonas delicadas de angustia y preparó un planeta en el que toda dama y niña podria ejercer sus preferencias, como ser partícipe en puestos del gobierno, recibir educación, recibir un ingreso y ser parte de una sociedad libre de violencia y actitud de rechazo.

2014 La sesión 58 de la Comisión acerca de el Estatus de la Mujer (CSW58) – la reunión del año de lugares para abordar cuestiones delicadas relacionadas con la paridad de género y los derechos de las mujeres, se centró en “Problemas y éxitos en la implementación de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio para mujeres y niñas”.

International Women’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. International Women’s Day first emerged from the activities of labor movements at the turn of the twentieth century in North America and across Europe.

https://gipstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/International-Women’s-Day-2018_-The-Time-is-Now.mp4

The Charter of the United Nations, signed in 1945, was the first international agreement to affirm the principle of equality between women and men. Since then, the UN has helped create a historic legacy of internationally agreed strategies, standards, programmes, and goals to advance the status of women worldwide.

Over the years, the UN and its technical agencies have promoted the participation of women as equal partners with men in achieving sustainable development, peace, security, and full respect for human rights. The empowerment of women continues to be a central feature of the UN’s efforts to address social, economic and political challenges across the globe.

Since those early years, International Women’s Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women’s movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations women’s conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point to build support for women’s rights and participation in the political and economic arenas

Now, more than ever, there’s a strong call-to-action to press forward and progress gender parity. There’s a strong call to #PressforProgress motivating and uniting friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.

With the World Economic Forum’s 2017 Global Gender Gap Report findings telling us that gender parity is over 200 years away – there has never been a more important time to keep motivated and #PressforProgress. And with global activism for women’s equality fuelled by movements like #MeToo, #TimesUp and more – there is a strong global momentum striving for gender parity. And while we know that gender parity won’t happen overnight, the good news is that across the world women are making positive gains day by day. Plus, there’s indeed a very strong and growing global movement of advocacy, activism, and support.

So we can’t be complacent. Now, more than ever, there’s a strong call-to-action to press forward and progress gender parity. A strong call to #PressforProgress. A strong call to motivate and unite friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.

International Women’s Day is not a country, group or organization specific. The day belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. So together, let’s all be tenacious in accelerating gender parity. Collectively, let’s all Press for Progress.

March 8 sees the annual IWD campaign theme kick off for the year ahead, although many groups around the world adopt and promote the campaign theme from early in the year. The IWD campaign theme provides a unified direction to guide and galvanize collective action. The campaign theme does not end on International Women’s Day. It’s just the start. Throughout the year many groups worldwide adopt the IWD campaign theme for further campaign work, gender-focused initiatives, continuing activity and events. A great example of this was in 2017 when the USA Women’s Hockey Team went on to adopt the #BeBoldForChange IWD campaign theme to later rally for equal pay, boycotting the national finals unless a suitable deal was struck. Many fans and further teams supported the campaign.

Brief history:

The first National Woman’s Day was observed in the United States on 28 February 1909. The Socialist Party of America designated this day in honor of the 1908 garment workers’ strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions.

The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen 1910, established a Women’s Day, international in character, to honor the movement for women’s rights and to build support for achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, which included the first three women elected to the Finnish Parliament. No fixed date was selected for the observance.

As a result of the Copenhagen initiative, International Women’s Day was marked for the first time on the19 March 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded women’s rights to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.

International Women’s Day also became a mechanism for protesting World War I. As part of the peace movement, Russian women observed their first International Women’s Day on the last Sunday in February 1913-1914. Elsewhere in Europe, on or around 8 March of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with other activists.

Against the backdrop of the war, women in Russia again chose to protest and strike for “Bread and Peace” on the last Sunday in February 1917 (which fell on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar). Four days later, the Czar abdicated and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote.

During International Women’s Year, the United Nations began celebrating International Women’s Day on 8 March.1975.

The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a historic roadmap signed by 189 governments in 1995, focused on 12 critical areas of concern, and envisioned a world where each woman and girl can exercise her choices, such as participating in politics, getting an education, having an income, and living in societies free from violence and discrimination.

The 58th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW58) in 2014– the annual gathering of States to address critical issues related to gender equality and women’s rights — focused on “Challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls”. UN entities and accredited NGOs from around the world took stock of progress and remaining challenges towards meeting the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs have played an important role in galvanizing attention on and resources for gender equality and women’s empowerment.

https://gipstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2017-International-Womens-Day.mp4

International Women’s Day belongs to all communities everywhere – governments, companies, charities, educational institutions, networks, associations, the media and more. Whether through a global conference, community gathering, classroom lesson or dinner table conversation – everyone can play a purposeful part in pressing for gender parity.

So make International Women’s Day YOUR day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women. Press for Progress!

7 Obesity Related Diseases We Need To Say Goodbye To This International Women’s Day!

While most of us women conveniently choose to perceive the International Women’s Day as a celebration of the identity, self-esteem, freedom and whatnot, the fact remains that if we women are not beautiful inside out, the day ends up losing its true meaning. And when we say, beautiful inside out, the first and foremost facet we need to talk about is health, which is rampantly becoming a prey in the hands of overweight and obesity. According to the pan India survey conducted by AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) and Dr Anoop Misra (Chairman – National Diabetes, Obesity and Cholesterol Foundation), 2 in every 3 urban women is found to be obese while every eighth woman in rural India is suffering from obesity. Ironically, a nation which was and is still known for its prevailing starvation, today is stuck in the spirality of obesity!  Also, the fact that Indian women do not pay attention to health and fitness placing their family obligations on top of everything else (including their own health), makes for a perfect recipe for the onset of obesity and overweight.

Ladies, pledge to keep your health as your topmost priority and make a healthy world for you and your loved ones. Get in touch with our Truweight Nutritionist today for any kind of assistance on health, nutrition and weight-related concerns and we shall be glad to help. The first consultation is on us.

So on this International Women’s Day, let us open our eyes to the hazardous effects of obesity and the diseases caused by being overweight, 7 of which we are going to discuss now:

1. High Blood Pressure

Obesity can be a common cause of high pressure in women

Obesity is one of the major causes of high blood pressure, which is amongst the top causes of death besides obstructive pulmonary disease, diarrhoea and tuberculosis [1] [2]. High blood pressure or hypertension is directly linked to your heart and brain – the two most vital organs of your body. High blood pressure also gives rise to heart diseases and it has been found that obese people have increased blood volume and arterial resistance. High blood pressure also exposes you to the risk of a stroke or a heart attack, which can kill you (if you are fortunate enough) or may even leave you paralyzed and disabled for the rest of your life.   

2. Diabetes

Diabetes is caused by overweight

Type-2 diabetes is another deadly disease caused by obesity [3]. Obesity paves way for insulin resistance, which causes diabetes. There is an array of after-effects of diabetes including vision impairment, kidney problems, gangrene, etc.

3. High Cholesterol and Heart Disease

According to the American Heart Association, another health hazard posed by obesity is heart disease which can many a times lead to a heart attack and stroke. In fact, according to studies, obese people carry a risk of heart attack even before they reach the age of 45 [4]. Studies indicate that people who carry excess weight have a higher risk of having a heart attack before the age of 35 [5]. Consumption of saturated oil found in most junk foods seems to be the leading cause of obesity.  

4. Cancer

There are several studies that clearly link obesity to certain types of cancers like Endometrial Cancer, Esophageal Adenocarcinoma, Gastric cardia cancer, Liver cancer, Kidney cancer, Multiple myelomas, Meningioma, Pancreatic cancer, Colorectal cancer, Gallbladder cancer, Breast cancer, Ovarian cancer and Thyroid cancer [6]. Studies also suggest that obese people suffer from chronic low-level inflammation which over time turns into cancer. It has also been found that as obesity increases, the chances of occurrence of these cancers also increases simultaneously.

5. Infertility

Obesity causes abnormal hormonal levels which leads to ovarian failure and thus fertility [7]. Obesity also causes PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), which is a common cause of fertility. Studies also suggest that women who are overweight or obese have less chance of getting pregnant overall. Also, the risk of pre-eclampsia doubles in overweight women and triples in obese women. Overweight women have twice the risk of gestational diabetes as compared to women of healthy weight.  An obese woman is twice more likely to have a miscarriage as a woman with healthy weight. Babies born to obese women are likely to be large in size and sometimes need neonatal intensive care or have a congenital abnormality [8].

6. Back Pain

Are you suffering from back pain due to over weight?

Obesity can expose you to various aches and pains including that of the neck, shoulder, back, spine, legs, ankle, etc, the reason being that these body parts carry your body weight. People who are overweight are at a much greater risk to suffer from back and spine pain. The excess weight carried by an obese person puts additional strain and pressure on the spine, which results in injury to the spine and back. Obesity also raises the risk of developing osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and arthritis [9].

7. Depression

Obesity causes hormonal imbalances which lead to depression among women and even men. Obesity also causes low self-esteem which in the long run, turns into clinical depression [10] [11]. It has also been found that obese people are more likely to experience mood disorders than people who have a healthy weight. Not being able to fit into good-looking clothes is one of the major setbacks experienced by obese women that sets them on a path of self-destruction, only a handful being able to emerge winners post the setback [12].

international Women's Day 8 March

History of the Day

Introduction

International Women's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. International Women's Day first emerged from the activities of labour movements at the turn of the twentieth century in North America and across Europe. Since those early years, International Women's Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women's movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations women's conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point to build support for women's rights and participation in the political and economic arenas.

Chronology

1909   The first National Woman's Day was observed in the United States on 28 February. The Socialist Party of America designated this day in honour of the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions.

1910   The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, established a Women's Day, international in character, to honour the movement for women's rights and to build support for achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, which included the first three women elected to the Finnish Parliament. No fixed date was selected for the observance.

1911   As a result of the Copenhagen initiative, International Women's Day was marked for the first time (19 March) in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded women's rights to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.

1913-1914   International Women's Day also became a mechanism for protesting World War I. As part of the peace movement, Russian women observed their first International Women's Day on the last Sunday in February. Elsewhere in Europe, on or around 8 March of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with other activists.

1917   Against the backdrop of the war, women in Russia again chose to protest and strike for "Bread and Peace" on the last Sunday in February (which fell on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar). Four days later, the Czar abdicated and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote.

1975 During International Women's Year, the United Nations began celebrating International Women's Day on 8 March.

  1995 The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a historic roadmap signed by 189 governments, focused on 12 critical areas of concern, and envisioned a world where each woman and girl can exercise her choices, such as participating in politics, getting an education, having an income, and living in societies free from violence and discrimination.

2014 The 58th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW58) – the annual gathering of States to address critical issues related to gender equality and women’s rights — focused on “Challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls”. UN entities and accredited NGOs from around the world took stock of progress and remaining challenges towards meeting the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs have played an important role in galvanizing attention on and resources for gender equality and women’s empowerment.

The UN and Gender Equality

The Charter of the United Nations, signed in 1945, was the first international agreement to affirm the principle of equality between women and men. Since then, the UN has helped create a historic legacy of internationally-agreed strategies, standards, programmes and goals to advance the status of women worldwide. Over the years, the UN and its technical agencies have promoted the participation of women as equal partners with men in achieving sustainable development, peace, security, and full respect for human rights. The empowerment of women continues to be a central feature of the UN's efforts to address social, economic and political challenges across the globe. *posted from:- United Nations

I highlighted the concept of Social Enterprise at CSW58 by facilitating a workshop at the BIC offices at the United Nations in New York. The perception was great, the feedback heart warming and personally I felt very rewarded.

Many thanks to Zarin Hainsworth who accredited me through Wales Assembly of Women and arranged this opportunity for me. 

I also received an offer from http://pridengo.org, to become the Advisor for International Business & Community Development with the intentions of representing the ECOSOC NGO in Geneva, Switzerland. 

"What a privilege to meet so many socially conscious experts from around the world in New York - It certainly has been one of my highlights on my journey as a Social Entrepreneur".

“Women’s access to safe and legal abortion is as relevant to gender equality and youth rights as access to education and employment,” says Ipas Youth Advisor Cecilia Espinoza.
