REPORT OF INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY - 2016
Worldwide, women continue to contribute to social, economic, cultural and political achievements. Same time the progress towards the gender parity has slowed down in many places. As per the World Economic Forum prediction in the year 2014, was that it would take 2095 to achieve global gender parity, however one year later in 2015, they estimated a slowed down progress in the already glacial pace of progress. This meant that gender parity wouldn’t be achieved until 2133.
