Every year on March 8, we celebrate International Women’s Day. It is a day to recognise and celebrate the significant accomplishments of women all across the world. Furthermore, this day serves as an opportunity to promote awareness about the importance of gender equality, which entails providing men and women with equal rights and opportunities.
Every year, a special subject is chosen for International Women’s Day, focussing on current issues concerning women’s rights and empowerment. Similarly, empowerment entails giving women the strength, confidence, and ability to make decisions and govern their own life. Here are numerous major government projects promoting women’s empowerment.
