Celebrate International Women’s Day with UUWF and ICUUW!
We uplifted the 2024 United Nations' International Women’s Day proposal. This is a vibrant program filled with song, spoken word, calls to action, and community grounding. We lift up these five goals:
-
Investing in women, a human rights issue: Time is running out. Gender equality is the greatest human rights challenge, benefiting everyone.
-
Ending poverty: Due to the COVID pandemic and conflicts, 75 million more people have fallen into severe poverty since 2020. Immediate action is crucial to prevent over 342 million women and girls living in poverty by 2030.
-
Implementing gender-responsive financing: Conflicts and rising prices may lead 75% of countries to cut public spending by 2025, negatively impacting women and their essential services.
-
Shifting to a green economy and care society: The current economic system disproportionately affects women. Advocates propose a shift to a green economy and care society to amplify women's voices.
-
Supporting feminist change-makers: Despite leading efforts, feminist organizations receive only 0.13% of official development assistance.
2024 International Women's Day Toolkit from UU Women's Federation
On International Women’s Day 2024 we rallied behind the call to “Invest in women: Accelerate progress.” Read more about the 2024 UN International Women's Day theme. Watch the 2024 IWD event sponsored by UUWF and ICUUW:
This event was open to all genders, members, allies, and co-conspirators.
Individual sponsorship entailed a financial contribution from any individual who wanted to support the day. The sponsor was mentioned in the next UUWF newsletter and received a personal thank you note, as well as a general “Shout Out” during the event (“We have so many individual sponsors on the call! If you’re an individual sponsor, give us a wave or a thumbs up emoji! Thank you so much for making this event possible”)
Organizational sponsorship entails a financial contribution of $200 from groups who want to support the day. Organizational sponsors have their logo on all the promotional materials and on social media, and were mentioned and thanked by name at the start of the event(s) with a similar sentiment described above.
Congregational sponsors could donate from a “Share the Plate” invitation to their congregants.
