It was long, it was slow, it was gradual, but it was certain. When women began their march towards self-assertion centuries ago, they were either ridiculed or their efforts demonised.
We’ve come a long way since. The world is a better, more tolerant place now. Women are straddling the world, scaling new heights, shattering glass ceilings, and being heard. While full global gender equality still remains a distant dream, here’s hoping every baby step will bring us a step closer towards actualising the simple dream of ‘equality’.
On a day like today, when the world takes out time to celebrate women for who they are and whatever they aspire to become, let us take a look at how the social media chose to extend their gratitude and celebrate the cause.
The theme for #iwd2019 is “balance for better” – a call to speed up gender balance across the world.https://t.co/cmlxDGMR7D— Twitter Moments (@TwitterMoments) March 8, 2019

Today is #WomensDay. Today we honour sisterhood.
Nowhere in the world today women and men are equal
The more I read about the climate crisis the more I realise how crucial feminism is.
