Imagine a gender equality world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. Achieving gender equality and women’s well-being in all aspects of life is more crucial than ever if we want to create prosperous economies and a healthy world where differences are celebrated and valued. Women played multifaceted societal roles as pillars of strength, opportunities, compassion and resilience. They are the light, hope, and happiness of families and the world.  

International Women’s Day is observed on March 8th each year. Women’s achievements, rights, equity, empowerment, and other issues are highlighted today. Women’s Day 2024 has “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress” as its theme, highlighting the significance of establishing an environment where women feel respected, valued, and empowered. On the auspicious occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8th, we have curated the quotes of women from different fields who continuously work hard, breaking barriers and shattering all obstacles to achieving success and equality.

Combat self doubt with self love and resilience. Embrace the power within, for every stride forward is a testament to the strength that resides in you.

Every woman’s success should inspire others. We’re strongest when we cheer each other on.

Breaking barriers and shattering stereotypes in the tech industry and beyond is an ongoing challenge not limited to International Women’s Day. True empowerment goes beyond mere words, whether spoken by ourselves or those who provide platforms for our voices. It involves creating and leveraging real opportunities to assert our agency in every aspect of life, often requiring determination and curiosity from us. Women hold the lion’s share of power in shaping our futures.

Empowerment isn’t merely granted; it’s an intrinsic aspect of our humanity, transcending identity, background, or financial status, and tech is a vital tool in spurring this empowerment. Web3 needs to be in the right place. As the founder of Thrilld Labs, Web3 is a welcoming sector for women, presenting myriad opportunities for those willing to explore the space with a fair share of curiosity and determination. 

The ability of International Women’s Day to raise awareness of issues like gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women makes it significant. It offers a forum for group efforts and cooperation in promoting women’s rights and empowerment. Overall, this day serves as a reminder that gender equality is still a long way off, with the World Economic Forum projecting that it will take over a century to reach.

In addition to commemorating women’s accomplishments, International Women’s Day serves as a call to action for gender equality, promoting introspection, activism, and action to keep removing barriers for women and girls worldwide.
