20 Inspirational Quotes For International Women’s Day

March 8, The International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to honouring the achievements of women throughout the world for more than a century.

This day celebrates the Women’s movement and struggles for equality as depicted in this year’s theme, “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights.

It grew out of the labour movement to become an annual event recognised by the United Nations.

International Women’s Day has become a day to celebrate the achievement or progress of women in society, politics and economics.

Although no country in the world can boast of the total achievement of gender equality for all, it can’t stop us from celebrating and acknowledging Women’s Day every year as it has been since 1911.

This is because every year we celebrate we renew the hope and believe in equality for all.

And together we can create a gender-equal world for all.

So, for this year’s 2020 International Women’s Day, I have compiled 20 Inspirational Quotes to motivate us to never stop believing in #EachforEqual, #BreakTheBias, and “Gender equality for a sustainable tomorrow”. Human rights are women’s rights.

  7. Great quotes! An interesting thing about #4 is that as I was reading through my Bible plans today, it mentioned that quote. It says that God’s Word reveals to us a deeper, freeing truth, though: She believed she couldn’t, so God did. We don’t have to do it all and God doesn’t expect us to be perfect. Just another perspective for us women who put so much pressure on ourselves!
