What are we fighting for this March 8th
nss G-Club asked 10 women what is the challenge they've decided to face
March 8th, 2021
And finally, it came, inevitable as every year, celebrated, but deeply feared, March 8th.
Far from bouquets of mimosas, soulless slogans and targeted advertising campaigns, International Women's Rights Day has increasingly become an opportunity to reflect, to take stock of the situation, to clearly analyze what are the goals and objectives yet to be reached. This day has taken on an increasingly social and political character, turning into a battle rather than a celebration. A new generation of women and girls, feminists and non-feminists, is clamouring for a society that is finally equal, an objective with a historical significance that, to be achieved, must go through an epochal change of mentality, through a general transformation of society, but also through small daily actions that all of us can do to change our present and our future. From equal pay to the end of gender-based violence, from greater political, social and media representation, to the safeguarding of women's fundamental rights, March 8 is still an open challenge.
For this reason, nss G-Club asked 10 women of different ages, origins, backgrounds and occupations to tell about the challenge they have chosen to fight as women. Starting with the official hashtag of the day, #ChooseToChallenge, here's what a new generation of women is fighting for.
