Striving for change

Office while holding political office

Just over 99% of the United States Congress, just over 100 years ago, only.2 percent of the population of the United States Congress was made up of women. In fact, the 65th Congress was made up of a single woman. Senator Jeannette Rankin of Montana was the first congresswoman to hold a federal office in 1916. Women account for 26.7 percent of the U.S. congressional seats in 2020, a fast forward to the year 2020. Although that may seem to be progress, according to United Nations reports, the United States' percentage matches exactly the global average for women in political office.

Education

Women in several regions of the world are less likely to own land, a company, or attend school. Education alone is a powerful tool for women in terms of financial independence. Their children reap the rewards, often for generations to come. In addition, when the women of a neighborhood prosper, the neighborhood also prospers. Educated women and girls are more likely to educate their offspring. They also have a greater knowledge of healthcare and know their rights.

Equal pay

According to the United Nations, more than half of the world's poorest people are women. Women who are not allowed to work for compensation or work for low wages are struggling to find economic stability. International Women's Day is a worldwide women's Day. And, although industrialized countries' strides, there is still plenty of work to do there.
