The symbolism of this day reflects the multiple dimensions of women's experience in various societies. It is an opportunity to honor their achievements, to recognize their contribution to the entire spectrum of society, from family and education to politics and the economy. We must not forget, however, that it is mainly a day to highlight the challenges and inequalities faced by women worldwide.

The symbolic acts during this day, such as the various events, speeches and petitions, highlight the importance of unity and solidarity in the fight for gender equality.

But real change doesn't just come from symbols. It requires action. It requires the active participation and support of all, regardless of gender, to create a just and equal society.

The challenges that women worldwide are facing, remain significant and varied. From lack of access to education and health care to inequalities in pay, job opportunities and equal opportunities in professional development, the road to equality is long and requires sustained effort by all.

It is important not to limit the fight for equality to just one day of the year. The promotion of gender equality must be a constant priority in every society and at every level. Only through collaboration and commitment can we achieve real change.

Thus, International Women's Day emerges as a day that inevitably leads to thought and action. Reflections on the importance of equality and justice, and action to achieve them. It is a day that reminds us of our obligation as a society to work towards a world where women and men have equal opportunities and rights.
