speech on women's equality day

Women's Equality Day

Since 1971, Women’s Equality Day has been celebrated annually on August 26. The celebration falls on the anniversary of the certification of the 19 th Amendment which granted women the right to vote.

The Woman Suffrage Amendment was first introduced on January 10, 1878. It was resubmitted numerous times until it was finally approved by both the House and Senate in June 1919. The bill needed to be approved by two-thirds of the states, so suffragists spent the next year lobbying state legislatures to gain support for the bill. On August 24, 1920, Tennessee became 36 th and final state to ratify the amendment, which passed by only one vote. That one vote belonged to Harry Burn, who heeded the words of his mother when she urged him to vote for suffrage. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby signed the amendment into law on August 26, 1920.

Fifty years later on August 26, 1970, Betty Friedan and the National Organization for Women organized a nationwide Women’s Strike for Equality. Women across the political spectrum joined together to demand equal opportunities in employment and education, as well as 24-hour childcare centers. This was the largest protest for gender equality in United States history. There were demonstrations and rallies in more than 90 major cities and small towns across the country and over 100,000 women participated, including 50,000 who marched down Fifth Avenue in New York City.

In addition to the marches, groups of women participated in publicity stunts aimed at garnering more recognition of gender inequality. Women in New York City took over the Statue of Liberty, hanging two 40 foot banners from the crown reading “March on August 26 for Equality” and “Women of the World Unite.” An organized group stopped the ticker tape at the American Stock Exchange, and held signs such as, “We won’t bear any more bull.” Female teachers also filed a lawsuit against the New York City Board of Education in which they demanded gender equality in appointing educational administration positions. The case lasted about 10 years and finally resulted in an increase in female principals.

While the strike did not halt the activities of the nation, it drew national attention to the Women’s Movement. The New York Times , for example, published their first major article on the Feminist Movement by covering the events of the day. It even included a map of the route the marchers took through the city.

In 1971, Representative Bella Abzug (D-NY) introduced a successful bill designating August 26th of each year as Women’s Equality Day. Part of the bill reads that Women’s Equality Day is a symbol of women’s continued fight for equal rights and that the United States commends and supports them. It decreed that the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation annually in commemoration of woman suffrage and the 1970 Strike for Equality. Women today continue to draw on the history of these brave and determined women.

5 Powerful speeches by women in the 21st century

This women's equality day, join us in celebrating some of the most powerful speeches by women..

We may only be two decades in, but the 21st century has seen monumental shifts regarding gender equality. Movements such as #metoo, global fights for abortion rights, and the Saudi Arabian women's driving ban are a few that have highlighted the issue.

When you think of great speeches in history, images of Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King, and Barack Obama may spring forth. Due to ingrained biases, women have always needed to 'speak louder to have their voices heard'. Women's Equality Day, often referred to as Gender Equality Day, commemorates when Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby signed the proclamation granting American women the right to vote . On this Women's Equality Day (26th August 2021), we celebrate powerful speeches by women on the world stage fighting for equal rights. 

Oprah Winfrey

While receiving an award for 'Outstanding Contributions to the World of Entertainment' at the 2018 Golden Globes, Oprah Winfrey gave one of the most moving speeches by a woman at the awards. 

As someone born into poverty to a single mother who overcame discrimination with race and gender to succeed, she gave a rousing speech addressing the evolution of women's equality. Even more fitting, she was the first black woman to have received that award.

'In 1944, Recy Taylor was a young wife and a mother. She was just walking home from a church service she attended in Abbeville, Alabama, when she was abducted by six armed white men raped and left blindfolded by the side of the road coming home from church. They threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone. But her story was reported to the NAACP, where a young worker by the name of Rosa Parks became the lead investigator on her case'

[00:08:21] 

'So I want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon. And when that new day finally dawns. It will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say me too again.'

Frances McDormand

Upon receiving her 2nd Oscar in 2018, Frances McDormand's speech received a standing ovation after highlighting the integral role women have in Hollywood - both in front of and behind the camera. 

The 'mic drop' moment was the mention of the ' inclusion rider .' An inclusion rider is a clause actors and filmmakers can insert into their contracts to ensure an appropriate level of diversity in a cast, from women to people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, and people with disabilities.

[00:04:15] 

'I have two words to leave with you tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, Inclusion Rider.'

Emma Watson

From actress to activist, Emma Watson is an outspoken supporter of gender equality. In a passionate women's rights speech at the UN in 2014, she declared gender equality an issue for both males and females to advocate. She asserted that 'feminism' has almost become a dirty word and that it is down to the inadvertent feminists to strengthen the movement. 

She also talked about gender equality from a male perspective, highlighting mental health and gender stereotypes, demonstrating that men do not have gender equality either. 

Key points of interest:

[00:01:51] 

'The more I've spoken about feminism, the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain. It is that this has to stop. For the record, feminism, by definition, is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.'

[00:04:05] 

'I am from Britain. And I think it is right that I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and the decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights. No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality.'

[00:08:35] 

'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 instead of two sets of opposing ideals.'

Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai is one of the leading women's rights activists globally and the youngest person (and first Pakistani) to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. In her acceptance speech, she delivered a heartfelt message advocating a women's right to education. She sheds light on women's rights from a unique cultural point of view.

[00:03:39] 

'I have found that people describe me in many different ways. Some people call me the girl who was shot by the Taliban and some the girl who fought for her rights. [...] As far as I know, I'm just a committed and even stubborn person who wants to see every child getting quality education. Who wants to see women having equal rights and who wants peace in every corner of the world.'

Greta Thunberg

The youngest on our list, Greta Thunberg, is a name synonymous with activism. This is more of an honorable mention as her speech at the UN Climate Action Summit in 2019 focused on climate change rather than gender equality. However, even at the age of 16, and speaking in her non-native tongue, Thunburg faced gender-based bias following the speech. There was online backlash due to her emotional tone and age, proving that women's rights have a long way to go before equality is reached. 

Key point of interest:

[00:00:54] 

'You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is the money and fairy tales of his time of economic growth. How dare you?'

What's next for women's equality?

Thanks to these speeches by women, the topic of gender equality remains at the forefront of the public's mind. Having said that, there is still some way to go in the case of equal pay and gender stereotypes and other global issues. However, these speeches have given women a platform in which to make their voices heard.

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?”

08 march 2024, secretary-general's remarks at the observance of international women's day, antónio guterres.

Excellencies, friends,

It is a pleasure to join you today on International Women’s Day – to celebrate women around the world and all they have achieved in the fight for equality.

In communities across the globe, millions of women and girls are working to demand change, to combat stereotypes, and to make their voices heard.

Some are women’s rights activists.

All are human rights defenders.

They are creating a better world for everyone.

We stand with them today. We thank them. And we applaud all they have achieved.

But we also recognise that women and girls at the forefront of change may be ignored, reviled, and even targeted for attack.

Progress towards equality has been far too slow.

Around the world, women and girls continue to face rank discrimination and gross human rights violations and abuses.

A persistent epidemic of gender-based violence disgraces humanity.

And women’s unpaid care work is excluded from calculations of Gross Domestic Product and considered to have no financial value.

But the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the truth: women’s unpaid care work is the foundation of stable economies and societies. 

Even when they are paid for their work, women earn less than men. The gender pay gap is at least twenty percent and often more, depending on the country and the job sector.

Sectors dominated by women, like teaching and nursing, are underpaid across the board.

Politically, women remain under-represented and under-served.

At last year’s United Nations General Assembly, less than twelve per cent of speakers were women. Change is long overdue.  

Meanwhile, new technologies, which have huge potential to reduce inequalities, too often do the opposite – because of unequal access, baked-in bias, and online violence.

A global backlash against women’s rights is threatening, and in some cases reversing, progress in developing and developed countries alike. 

The most egregious example is Afghanistan, where women and girls have been barred from much of the education system, from employment outside the home, and from most public spaces. 

But we need to look no further than headlines of recent days. It is intolerable that over 4 million girls around the world are at risk of female genital mutilation each year.

I am outraged by the parliamentary initiative in Gambia to legalize this horrific practice.

I strongly appeal for this proposal to be rejected.

Excellencies,

And the global crises we face are hitting women and girls hardest – from poverty and hunger to climate disasters, war and terror.

Over the past year we have heard horrific reports of the impact of conflict on women and girls around the world. This includes:

Testimonies of rape and trafficking in Sudan;

Accounts in the recent report by Pramila Patten – my Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict– of sexual violence and indications of sexualised torture during the terror attacks carried out by Hamas in Israel;

And reports of sexual violence against Palestinian detainees.

We have also witnessed maternity services crumbling in Gaza, where women and children make up the majority of the tens of thousands killed and injured.

At our current rate of change, full legal equality for women is some 300 years away.

So is the end of child marriage.

And by 2030, over 340 million women and girls will still be living in extreme poverty – some eighteen million more than men and boys.

That is an insult to women and girls.

And a brake on all our efforts to build a better world.

Gender equality is the strong foundation of the entire 2030 Agenda – from ending poverty to securing peace.

We must drastically up the pace of change.

That requires political focus. And it requires investment – our theme for this year’s International Women’s Day.

Those investments must go towards ending violence against women; improving women’s and girls’ access to education and skills; and increasing the number of women in leadership roles in the corporate sector, in government, in peacebuilding and in climate action. 

We need to provide resources for effective social protection systems and put a monetary value on care work.  

Governments should promote childcare policies that enable both mothers and fathers to take on paid work outside the home.

And we must put money into the women’s rights organisations fighting to dismantle stereotypes, challenge cultural norms, and ensure women and girls are heard.

I see three priority areas for action to make such investments a reality.

First, we must urgently increase the availability of affordable, long-term finance for sustainable development, and tackle the debt crisis suffocating many developing countries and their economies.

We are pushing for an SDG Stimulus of $500 billion a year in affordable, long-term finance for developing countries. Our proposal calls for action on debt for countries facing impossible repayment schedules.

Leaders endorsed the Stimulus at last year’s SDG Summit; I will be working with a small group of Heads of State to make it a reality.

I urge all countries to support these efforts. And to support reform of the international financial architecture at the Summit of the Future this year so that it meets the financing needs of developing countries that are essential for the promotion of gender equality.

Second, I urge governments to prioritise equality for women and girls.

I am pleased today to launch the United Nations System-Wide Gender Equality Acceleration Plan, which commits to placing women and girls at the centre of our work across the board.

We will support governments around the world to design and implement policies, budgets and investments and respond to the needs of women and girls.

Targeted programmes and quotas may be required to tackle baked-in bias and dismantle the obstacles to equality.  

I also urge Member States at the Summit of the Future to support our proposals for metrics that go beyond Gross Domestic Product.

GDP disregards invisible domestic labour. Complementary metrics provide a more comprehensive and balanced picture.

Third, we need to increase the number of women in leadership positions.

Women in positions of power can help to drive investment in policies and programmes that meet the needs of women and girls.

I am particularly proud that since early in my tenure we have equal numbers of women and men in senior management across the entire United Nations system – a first for our organisation.

And I urge Member States to look at what they can do to increase the number of women in delegations to the United Nations and at intergovernmental meetings.

Such investments and policies are not in favour of women; they are good for us all.

Equality is the bedrock of peaceful, prosperous societies.

And supporting women who want to enter formal labour markets increases growth, tax revenues and opportunities for all.

Equality is overdue.

To achieve it, we must match rhetoric with resources.

We must invest in women and girls, turbocharge progress, and build a better world for all.

And I thank you.

Celebrating women’s equality day.

Today, August 26th, we celebrate Women’s Equality Day.  We commemorate the 93rd anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. It’s hard to believe that less than 100 years ago, women did not have the right to vote. Advocates such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Ida B. Wells devoted decades of hard work to ensure that women’s voices could be heard. As a result, historic change occurred, forever transforming our nation as we took another step toward a more perfect union.

This past year, I received a very special birthday present from President Obama. He gave me an original copy of two historic documents—the “petition for universal suffrage,” dated January 29, 1866; and the Congressional resolution for the 19th amendment— “extending the right of suffrage to women,” dated May 19, 1919. Over half a century passed between the petition and women actually receiving the vote.  And goodness knows there were numerous setbacks along the way. Many who started the journey handed the baton to others to finish it, but the effort continued, and was ultimately successful.

I share this to remind you—and myself—that in the era of tweets and texting, the fierce urgency of now must also be tempered with patience, grit, determination, persistence, resilience and courage. So change often takes time.

This year, we celebrate Women’s Equality Day on the eve of the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, where Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. stood before a crowd of hundreds of thousands, and delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.  Among those visionary civil rights leaders were courageous women, like Dr. Dorothy Height, whom you can see standing on the podium supporting Dr. King as he speaks.

Whether through the Women’s Suffrage Movement, or the Civil Rights Movement, we are reminded of those women, and men who have worked so hard to make our country more equal. We look back at our history to inspire our future.

As President Obama said in his Second Inaugural address earlier this year :

“We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall.”

And just last week, in advance of today’s anniversary, the President paid a visit to Seneca Falls, New York, where the First Women’s Rights Convention was held in 1848, launching the movement for women’s equality.  Today, the site is home to the National Park Service’s  Women’s Rights National Historic Park. He acknowledged the leadership of the women celebrated in our history, and made a contribution of his own to that history – he presented the Park  with a copy of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, the first bill he signed into law, making it easier for women to bring forward pay discrimination claims, as well as a copy of the remarks he made during the bill signing ceremony.

His visit last week, and the progress we celebrate on Women’s Equality Day, reminds us all of the work that remains to be done, and the commitments we are making to achieve a more perfect union for all our people.  The White House Council on Women and Girls, and all of our federal agencies are making strides every day to make sure all of our programs, policies, and our staff reflect the needs and concerns of women and girls.  And President Obama is leading the way – here are just a few of the key issues we continue to work on:

A more equal future means women should have access to quality, affordable health care, and without being discriminated against by health insurers just because they are women. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, women will no longer be charged more for health insurance just because they are women, and they are guaranteed to have coverage for things like maternity care, screenings like mammograms, and contraception services. Now we have to make sure that women and their families know about these benefits, and are get informed about the easy choices they will have starting October 1 to get coverage on terms that work for them and their families. 

A more equal future includes ensuring fair pay. Today, women still earn on average just  77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and  African- American women, and Latinas earn significantly less. We need to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act.  But President Obama isn’t waiting for that to happen, which is  why he created  the National Equal Pay Task Force , which is cracking down on equal pay violations at a record rate.

No one can be truly equal when they are in fear for their safety. President Obama was proud to sign into law earlier this year the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).  Since Vice President Biden initially authored the legislation as a Senator in 1994, VAWA has helped to decrease the rates of domestic violence nationwide, and given more women and girls the chance to live healthy and secure lives.

On this Women’s Equality Day, we honor those who fought tirelessly for a woman’s right to vote, but we know that there is much more work to do. Let us keep marching forward together.

Proclamation 5850 -- Women's Equality Day, 1988

August 25, 1988

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

Sixty-eight years ago, on August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States , granting women the right to vote, was ratified. The anniversary of this milestone is a fitting time to celebrate this achievement and to pay tribute to those who resolutely sought to secure this most basic right. It is also an appropriate time to reflect on the advances women have continued to make over the past seven decades in political participation and other areas, playing indispensable roles and offering leadership in family life, the economy, intellectual and artistic activity, business, the professions, and government.

On this day of historic significance, Americans everywhere should pause to salute women for their contributions to our land. Many have won a place in history and in the way we define ourselves as a people -- for instance, Pocahontas and Sacagawea; Dolley Madison and Molly Pitcher; Sojourner Truth and Rosa Parks; Nellie Bly and Sally Ride; Helen Hayes and Kate Smith; Clara Barton and Clare Boothe Luce. They and countless other women, some widely known and many more known simply in family, village, office, or neighborhood, have helped make us and keep us a country both great and good.

Women continue to achieve. For instance, women's economic strides in recent years have been notable. More than 55 million women are now in the labor force, and women hold 60 percent of the more than 17 million new jobs created since 1982. Since November 1982, employment of women is up 19 percent. Many women hold high-paying managerial and professional jobs; women's entry into top management has grown greatly since 1980. Women's real median income grew more than 15 percent between 1981 and 1986. Women are starting small businesses at twice the rate of men, and the gap in wages is steadily closing.

Women's roles continue to grow in other areas, too, such as public service. In this Administration, 1,308 women have achieved senior policy-level positions, and, at all levels of government, 3,039 women have accepted at least one Presidential appointment. In just the first term of this Administration, 37 women served as Presidential assistants. During this Administration, 32 women have received lifetime appointments to the Federal judiciary, and one of them serves as a Supreme Court Justice. Four of the ten female Cabinet members in our entire history have served in this Administration.

On this day, let us recount women's accomplishments and celebrate. But let us also reaffirm, individually and as communities and a Nation, our determination to seek a future of increasing economic freedom, prosperity, and equal opportunity in which all our citizens can fully and freely develop their talents and reach for their dreams for the good of others.

Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States , do hereby proclaim August 26, 1988 , as Women's Equality Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirteenth.

Ronald Reagan

António Guterres (UN Secretary-General) on International Women's Day

On International Women's Day, we celebrate the achievements of women and girls across all walks of life, in all corners of the world.

But we also recognize the enormous obstacles they face — from structural injustices, marginalization, and violence, to cascading crises that affect them first and worst, to the denial of their personal autonomy and rights over their bodies and lives.

Gender-based discrimination harms everyone – women, girls, men, and boys.

International Women's Day is a call to action.

Action to stand with women who are demanding their fundamental rights at great personal cost.

Action to strengthen protection against sexual exploitation and abuse.

And action to accelerate women's full participation and leadership.

This year's theme stresses the need for technology and innovation to advance gender equality.

Technology can expand pathways to education and opportunities for women and girls.

But it can also be used to amplify abuse and hatred.

Today, women make up under a third of the workforce in science, technology, engineering, and maths.

And when women are under-represented in developing new technologies, discrimination may be baked in from the start.

That is why we must close the digital divide and increase the representation of women and girls in science and technology.

Women's exclusion from the digital world has shaved an estimated $1 trillion from the GDP of low- and middle-income countries in the last decade — a loss that could grow to $1.5 trillion by 2025 without action.

Investing in women uplifts all people, communities, and countries.  

Let us work together – across governments, the private sector and civil society –to build a more inclusive, just, and prosperous world for women, girls, men, and boys everywhere.

This Women’s Equality Day, Celebrating Those Advancing Gender Equity 

The Women’s Bureau was established less than three months before certification of the 19th Amendment. A large part of the Women’s Bureau’s work today involves exposing gender and racial inequities in the world of work to inform policymaking . For instance, the Women’s Bureau published a report earlier this year that explained how women, especially women of color, were most impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic due to myriad factors such as our country’s lack of care infrastructure, the systemic devaluation of women’ work, and gender and race-based discrimination.  

But just as important to exposing those inequities is shining a light on the organizations and women leaders who are continuing the work necessary to propel gender equality and equity. That is why this Women’s Equality Day, we are celebrating the bold women and women-led organizations driving progress in the economic sphere.  

In April we sat down virtually with truck driver Desiree Wood, a force for change in the trucking industry, who has been sounding the alarm for more than a decade over the sexual assault and harassment women truckers face, particularly in training . In a May webinar on equity for pregnant and nursing workers, we heard from Blessing Adesiyan, a chemical engineer, CEO, mother and advocate for policies that value women’s labor, who opened up about the harsh realities of being a nursing mother in the workplace and how her experience motivated her to become a vocal advocate for care solutions. Earlier this summer, we held our first-ever webinar on the Power of Trans Inclusion in the Workforce, where participants had the privilege to learn from Dr. Tatyana Moaton, CEO of one of the first Black trans-led consulting firm in the country, about how to provide safe and nurturing spaces for transgender employees and colleagues. 

Just two days ago, Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh was in Chicago celebrating the five community-based organizations that were awarded $3.4 million in funding through the department’s Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations (WANTO) grant program . For 30 years, the WANTO program, which helps recruit, train, and retain more women in quality pre-apprenticeship and registered apprenticeship programs as well as nontraditional occupations, has been supporting women’s participation in a range of fields in which women have traditionally been underrepresented.  

The Women’s Bureau is thrilled to be working with these organizations that are actively disrupting occupational segregation with a focus on the most underserved women, particularly in this critical moment when the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and other administrative policies are set to create thousands of good-paying, union jobs that women can benefit from.  

We have good reason to be hopeful about gender and racial equity: Women’s employment rates are approaching their pre-pandemic levels, having recovered to 98.4% of their February 2020 level as of last month, although Black and Hispanic women’s employment rates still lag behind white women’s rates. In addition, we know that increasing union membership means a stronger economy and better quality of life for workers and their families, and according to the National Labor Relations Board, union activity is indeed rising. Data show that union membership gives women a distinct advantage over their nonunionized counterparts, with women represented by a union making on average 23% more than those without a union.  

On this Women’s Equality Day, we honor the legacy of our forerunners who’ve made it possible for us to keep advocating for change. We amplify their voices and their courage, and recommit ourselves to the work of creating avenues to good quality jobs for women, protecting their safety and welfare everywhere, and promoting their long-term economic security.

UN Secretary-General's message for International Women's Day 2021

Date: Monday, 8 March 2021

Today we celebrate the women of the world who are leading their countries and communities through the urgent crises caused by COVID-19.

Over the past year, countries with women leaders are among those that have suffered fewer deaths and put themselves on track for recovery. Women’s organizations have filled crucial gaps in the provision of services and information on the pandemic, especially at the local level.

Women peacebuilders have played a vital role in public health messaging in low trust and conflict-affected communities.

Seventy per cent of frontline health and care workers are women -- many from racially and ethnically marginalized groups and at the bottom of the economic ladder.

Yet even as women have played critical roles during the pandemic, we have seen a roll-back in hard-won advances in women’s rights. This regression harms women and girls above all – but it also harms everyone and all our work for peace and prosperity.

In this Decade of Action to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals, we must turn things around. As we look to this year’s Generation Equality Forums in Mexico City and Paris, we have many challenges to overcome.

Too often, services are delivered by women, but decisions are made by men.

Just 22 countries have a woman as Head of State or Government; just 21 per cent of Ministers are women, and women parliamentarians make up less than 25 per cent of national legislators.

Women have an equal right to speak with authority on the decisions that affect their lives. This is how we will ensure that decisions are inclusive and reflect the needs of the entire population. This is how we will rebuild from a pandemic that has made gender inequality worse, that has pushed more women into poverty, out of jobs and away from access to educational and medical services, including for sexual and reproductive health. This is how we will solve the urgent challenges of our time, from the pandemic to climate change, to deepening inequalities, conflict and democratic backsliding.

Gender equality is essentially a question of power. But equal power will not happen by itself. This is still a male-dominated world with a male-dominated culture. We need to work together with vision and determination to make equality happen.

I am proud that we have achieved gender parity in UN leadership posts for the first time in history.

We must transform social norms.

We must put in place laws and policies to support women in leadership, including special measures and quotas with ambitious targets, and do far more to appoint women to high-level positions.

We must tackle violence against women both online and offline so that women’s voices are no longer silenced, especially in public life.

We must increase access to financing for women candidates, women’s organizations and feminist movements.

And we must support women leaders in all their diversity and abilities – including young women, migrant women, indigenous women, women with disabilities, women of colour and LGBTIQ+.

The Covid-19 has been a calamity for the world, and for women and girls. But it has also forced a reckoning with global inequalities, fragilities and entrenched gender discrimination. Women must be at the centre of the recovery as we make the course corrections that the pandemic has highlighted so vividly. This is a job for all of us.

I look forward to working with all of you to advance women’s leadership, to achieve women’s rights and to build a future based on equality and dignity for all.

Speech Women's Equality Day

I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to speak with you today on this occasion of Women's Equality Day. This is an opportunity to honor one of the most significant events in the history of our nation - women receiving the right to vote. Women's suffrage was a huge step in the movement for women's equality.

In the words of Maureen Reagan, daughter of president Ronald Reagan, "I will feel equality has arrived when we can elect to office women who are as incompetent as some of the men who are already there." Women's Equality Day commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Before that, it's hard to imagine, but women could not participate in one of the most basic freedoms we have. It's the right to make your voice heard. Half of the people in our nation were silenced and not allowed to participate in making decisions for our democracy. It's truly shocking to imagine today.

Before we get into that, I want to make it a little more realistic for all of us sitting here. I want to go back to the beginnings of our nation and review who was allowed to vote historically. Do you think you were included? Many of us, I would even say most of us, would not have been allowed to vote in the early days when we were a young nation still figuring out how we would build our democracy. If you will, I ask you to play along with me for a few minutes as we explore who would have been allowed to vote.

(NOTE TO SPEAKER - AT THIS POINT, YOU MAY ASK YOUR AUDIENCE TO PARTICIPATE BY STANDING OR BY RAISING THEIR HANDS OR SIMPLY READ THEM THE INFORMATION).

Everyone please put your hands up. Go ahead and put them up high so we can see. We're going to pretend the people here today are going to elect the next president, and the only ones allowed to vote are the people who could have voted in early America. Let's get started.

If you are younger than twenty one, please put your hand down. You would not be able to vote.

If you are a woman, please put your hand down. You would not have been allowed to vote.

If you are of any other racial background other than white, please put down your hand. You would not be allowed to vote.

If you do not own the land your home stands on, and I don't mean if the bank owns it! If you personally do not own land, please put your hand down. You would not be allowed to vote.

Finally, if you have ever been judged criminally insane, you can put your hand down. (PAUSE FOR LAUGHTER) You would not be allowed to vote.

Thank you, you can all put your hands down. Only the people with their hands up until the end could have voted if we were in early America - Only white, wealthy males over 21. In fact, in the first election at Jamestown, only six percent of the people were allowed to vote! Imagine if that was still the case in America today - if six percent of the population decided our fate and ninety four percent of the citizens were excluded from voting. We would have a very different country.

Thank goodness that's not the case. America has gotten greater with time as we have extended the vote to more people and recognized that freedom and inclusion are part of our strength. But women's right to vote didn't come easily, just like drastic social change never comes easily. The women's suffrage movement had its formal beginnings in the first women's rights convention in 1848 at Seneca Falls, New York. Anyone who has read about the women's rights movement knows the names of Susan B Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Sojourner Truth, but we must remember that while a movement may be led by a few, it is made up of many.

Social change comes like a great rising wave on the ocean - powerful, unyielding, sweeping history along in its path. Great social change comes about because of a vast movement of many, courageous people, both men and women, who refused to back down. Many of their names are lost to history, but we will never forget their actions. They were the people who marched day after day. Despite the fear of violence or verbal attacks, they returned again and again to continue fighting. They were women who were arrested and went to prison willingly to stand up for what they believed in, and once there, went on hunger strikes and endured beatings and forced feedings. They were the men who were mocked and laughed at when they spoke to other men of the need for women's equality. They were the women who fought for their daughters' right to vote and to be treated like an equal citizen.

All of these people are responsible for the changes to women's rights that made our country stronger, greater, and gave more meaning to the words "one nation undivided". It is in moments like that, when we as a nation were challenged by change when we become truly great. We chose to embrace the change and grow as a people because it reflected our true values of respect for equality and the right for everyone's voice to be heard.

We must remember today that although we have come a long way towards equality, there is still much to be done. Today should remind us to support women's struggles for equality throughout everyday life - from the glass ceilings in our workplaces to the evolving roles in the home; from opportunities on the sports field to female leadership in upper echelon boardrooms; from the images representing women in videos and magazines to the way women view themselves; from empowering young mothers to supporting women preparing to retire; from encouraging greater female involvement in the science and technology fields to promoting women's campaigns for public office and leadership in government institutions. As long as women are underrepresented or misrepresented in these places and other places in our society, there is still work to be done. And as long as women around the world fight for equal rights, the struggle continues.

I'd like to close with a thought from a modern day leader of the women's rights movement, Malala Yousafzai. Malala is the Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for fighting for girls' right to access education. She is also the youngest ever recipient of the Nobel prize.

Malala said, "I speak not for myself but for those without voice... those who have fought for their rights... their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated."

We are fortunate to live in a place where women have a voice and that voice is counted in our democratic process. That opportunity didn't come free, and many struggled for years in order to get that right. Many around the world still struggle to secure that right for themselves and for their daughters. As we celebrate today, remember those women who still struggle for their voices to be heard and for their right to be treated with dignity.

10 Line Speech On Women's Day

The 8th of March is celebrated as International Women's Day every year.

The day aims to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women around the world.

Women's Day has its roots in the women's suffrage movement, which fought for the right to vote.

The first International Women's Day was held in 1911, with over a million people participating in demonstrations.

Women's Day is also an important day for raising awareness about issues such as domestic violence and sexual assault, which continue to be significant issues globally. It is a day to stand up against these violence forms and show support for survivors.

The theme for International Women's Day 2021 was "Choose to Challenge," encouraging people to challenge gender stereotypes and biases.

Many countries, including India, Russia, and China, celebrate Women's Day as a public holiday.

It is important that we continue to challenge gender stereotypes and biases and to work towards a world where all people, regardless of their gender, are treated with respect and equality.

Women's Day is celebrated by both men and women, with many expressing their support for gender equality. On this Day, People honour the countless achievements and contributions of women from all walks of life.

We celebrate their courage and determination to stand up for what they believe in, and we recognise their invaluable role in shaping our world. While progress has been made in advancing women's rights, there is still much progress in achieving true equality for all women.

Short Speech On Women's Day

International Women's Day is a day that is celebrated globally on March 8th to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women around the world. The Day has its roots in the women's suffrage movement, which fought for the right to vote and equal rights for women. The first International Women's Day was held in 1911, with over a million people participating in demonstrations and campaigning for women's rights.

Issues Highlighting Women’s Day

One of the key issues that are highlighted on Women's Day is the gender pay gap, which continues to be a major issue globally. Despite progress in this area, women still earn significantly less than men in many countries worldwide. This is a big issue that needs to be addressed, as it is not only unfair but it also harms women's economic independence and their ability to provide for themselves and their families.

Another important issue that is highlighted on Women's Day is reproductive rights. Women have every right to control their bodies and make their own reproductive decisions, but in many countries, these rights are only sometimes respected. Women's Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about reproductive rights' importance and advocate for change.

Women's Day is celebrated by both men and women, with many people taking the opportunity to express their support for gender equality and show their appreciation for women's vital role in society.

Long Speech On Women's Day

International Women's Day is a day to remember and celebrate the achievements and accomplishments of women around the world. It is a day to recognise women's strength, resilience, and perseverance and honour their contributions to society. Women have always been the backbone of society, but their hard work and dedication have often gone unrecognised.

From the earliest days of human civilization, women have played vital roles in their communities, taking on responsibilities such as child rearing, cooking, and caring for the sick and elderly. Despite their challenges, women have always found ways to make their voices heard and stand up for the issues they believe in.

Women’s Day Quotes

One of the most famous quotes about women's strength and resilience comes from the suffragist Susan B. Anthony, who said, "I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand." This quote speaks to the importance of empowering women to be independent and self-sufficient rather than relying on the protection of men.

One of the most famous quotes about the power of women comes from the suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who said, "The Day will come when men will recognise women as his peers, not only at the fireside but in councils of the nation. Then, and not until then, will there be the perfect comradeship, the ideal union between the sexes that shall result in the highest development of the race." This quote speaks to the importance of equal rights and opportunities for women and the belief that when women are given full participation in all aspects of society, the world will be a better place for everyone.

Importance Of Women’s Day

Women's Day is a huge opportunity to celebrate the many achievements and accomplishments of women throughout history. From the women's suffrage movement, which fought for the right to vote, to the women's liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s, women have always been a crucial part of and at the forefront of social change.

Women's Day is also important for raising awareness about the many challenges and inequalities women continue to face worldwide. From the gender pay gap to reproductive rights and domestic violence, there is still much work to be done to ensure that all women have the opportunity to live full, healthy, and fulfilling lives.

One experience that has always motivated me on Women's Day is attending a local rally or protest. Seeing so many people, both women and men, come together to stand up for gender equality and women's rights is truly inspiring. It reminds me that we are all in this fight together and that together we can make a difference.

Women's Day is the time of the year to celebrate the achievements and accomplishments of women, but it is also a time when we need to reflect on the work that is still required to ensure that all women have the same opportunities and rights as men. It is a day to be motivated and inspired to take action and to do our part to create a more equitable and just world for all.
