What does gender equality mean to you?
The first Women’s Day was in 1909 in the US, when February 28 was designated to remember the garment workers’ strike of the previous year where women protested their working conditions. In the century since then it has become a global event calling for equal rights in all aspects of life and work; in some countries it’s a day of protest, in others a celebration.
To mark this year’s International Women’s Day we asked people of all ages from around the world, what does gender equality mean to you?

Hi! My name is Farah, i m 36 and live in Canada
For me it means that women and men can both do and be wathever they want, without being judged and in complete freedom.
Gender equality is to me total equality in all areas whether in personal or professional life
Gender equality, for me, means that women feel free to do everything men do, and that they don’t doubt themselves because they are as capable as men.
