August 26 Women’s Equality Day

August 26 Women’s Equality Day
Women’s Equality Day observed annually on August 26. On August 26, 1920, women in the United States were granted the right to vote when the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution was certified.
Over the last century, great women have proved these views wrong as the world has witnessed just what women are capable of achieving, from the likes of Rosa Parks and Eleanor Roosevelt fighting for civil rights and equality to great scientists such as Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin and Jane Goodall. The last century has shown more than ever what both women and men are capable of achieving, given the opportunity.


So on Women’s Equality Day, let the men do the dishes and the women do the DIY, think about supporting women’s empowerment projects in developing countries, stop thinking about men and women as separate beings with separate roles and start thinking about treating people as equals.
Organizations such as Equality Now and Womankind Worldwide continue to work to provide women across the globe with equal opportunities to education and employment, pushing against suppression and violence towards women and against the discrimination and stereotyping which still occur in every society.
At last Woman give Birth to man, she is Mother, Sister and Wife, Happy Women’s Equality Day.
