#EmbraceEquity

“روز جهانی زن در کشوری که سلطه مردسالارانه آن بیداد میکند، بی معنی ست...
مگر میشود ظلمی که در این تاریخ بر زنان این سرزمین شده با تمام وجود لمس نکرده باشی؟!
زنان قهرمانی که قربانی ریشه های پیچ در پیچ خشونت در این‌جغرافیا بوده اند؛ اما از پا ننشستند تا فرزاندانشان twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
سربلند زندگی کنند...
زنانی که در برابر ظلمی که به آنان شده، عصیان می کنند و منتظر منجی نمی مانند...
مادرانی که به جرم خونخواهی فرزندشان، به بند کشیده شدند؛ اما نشکستند و راسخ تر شدند...
زنانی که با تنی سرد، ده ها و صدها هُرم آفتاب را درون سرمای سوزان زندان تجربه کردند و از امید
و آرمان خود دست نکشیدند...
مادران سوخته دلی که شکنجه و تحقیرشان کردند؛ اما شعله درونشان فرو که نه؛ تازه، زبانه کشید...
زنانی که فرزندشان را در چاردیواری زندان به دنیا آوردند و آزاده بزرگش کردند...
زنانی که پشت در زندانِ مردان نامرد، در آرزوی به آغوش کشیدن فرزندشان مو سپید کردند.

I’ve discovered that not many people know the difference between equality and equity so let’s go over the two so you can understand them and their differences and be able to explain them yourself!

#EmbraceEquity #InternationalWomansDay
Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities.

Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.
Equality and equity are not the same and it’s really important we understand the difference and why we need both, not just one or the other.

Today the theme for International Women’s Day is Embrace Equity and so I really encourage you to think about what that means to you and

Did you know Canada is the ONLY country in the world that has universal health care, but🚫access to covered contraception⁉️
Contraception is a gender health equity issue & 1:5 have insufficient drug coverage.
#InternationalWomensDay @Ptbohealth actioncanadashr.org/resources/poli…
BC recently announced that contraception would be free for everyone, and all provinces in 🇨🇦, including @ONThealth should follow suit.

Unfair access to menstrual products means an inability to afford tampons, pads & liners fuels stigma & shame while creating health risks for people who struggle to afford them.
@ONThealth has recently made important progress but gaps remain.

🔊Today, for the first time, on #InternationalWomensDay2023, we're sharing more about the 7 incredible Composeher works that will be premiered on 27th May at City Halls, Glasgow.

#IWD #EmbraceEquity
The @GSAChoir commissioned 7 female composers to create new works of around 10 minutes in length to seek to address, in our own way, the huge gender inequalities in the granting of music commissions.

Today, on #IWD, we have released programme notes to accompany the new works.
'Angel of the Battlefield', composed by Cecilia McDowall, lyrics by Clara Barton and Seán Street, is inspired by the outstanding work of the pioneering American nurse and founder of the American Red Cross, Clara Barton.

Abro hilo sobre la historia del 8 de marzo #DíaInternacioalDelaMujer
En 1848 se celebró en EEUU la 1º convención nacional por los derechos de la mujeres (M). En ese entonces no podían votar, educarse, poseer propiedades, manejar su patrimonio, ni tomar decisiones por sí mismas. Image
El 28/02/1909 el Partido Socialista de América declara el 28/02 el Día Nacional de la Mujer. Eso inspiró a la alemana Clara Zetkin a impulsar en 1910 la proclamación de un Día Internacional de la Mujer Trabajadora, propuesta que fue acogida por mujeres de varias naciones europeas Image
En 1913 fue el turno de las mujeres de Rusia de declarar su día. Luego, en 1917 las rusas se movilizaron masivamente, lo cual precipitó la caída del Zar; el gobierno provisional les reconoció el derecho al sufragio. Image
