“The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.” These words by activist Gloria Steinem testify to the universal nature of the fight for women’s rights and once a year, on 8 March, we restate our commitment to gender equality as a force driving dignity for all.

“妇女为平等而抗争的历史不属于女权主义者，而是所有男人和女人为争取人权而斗争的历史。”女权活动家格洛丽亚·斯泰纳姆的这句话证明了人权斗争的普遍性。每年3月8日，我们重申对性别平等的承诺，它是所有人的尊严的驱动力。

Inequality between men and women penalizes societies at all levels of development. The violence, injustice and stereotypes suffered by too many women in their personal or professional lives undermine society as a whole, and deprive of it considerable potential for creativity, strength and confidence in the future. As the United Nations has adopted the ambitious 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the full empowerment of girls and women is one of humanity’s most powerful levers for development.
