Quotes on Accelerate Action for ALL women
- At the current rate, full gender parity will not be achieved until 2158, which is about five generations from now.
- The pink kitten heel effect is the fun, often pink tokenistic things that happen around international women's day or in the workplace.
- Accelerating action goes beyond having a lovely event on the 8th of March. While we absolutely need to celebrate, we need to remember that basic rights and freedoms have to be fought for.
- Policy is the first step, but continuous radical action in a timely, speedy fashion is always needed.
- We must and have to learn from the global and grassroots movements, as opposed to commercialising the day as a concept.
