Pause For Thought
Yesterday was International Women鈥檚 Day. Some might
find it strange that we need a day dedicated to 50% of the world鈥檚 population
but when our parliament has to have an inquiry into the fact that women are
being told to wear high-heeled shoes and dye their hair blonde just to retain
their jobs, I feel it is safe to say that we still need this special day, which
was marked in a variety of ways across the world.
听
Yesterday鈥檚 theme was 鈥淏e Bold For Change鈥濃攊t encouraged people to take action
to speed up the pace of change, because at our current trajectory--it will take
over 170 years for us to reach gender equity.

Organisers called on all people 鈥 regardless of their gender鈥攖o join forces, to
seek change at the highest levels of society, and the deepest levels of our
families.
听
Yesterday鈥檚 events鈥攇lobal gatherings, conferences, awards, exhibitions,
festivals, fun runs, corporate events, concert performances, online digital
gatherings, even strikes鈥攚ere described as a 鈥減urposeful collaboration鈥. And
men were to be seen at the events alongside women. Which for me is incredibly
important and reminds me of the Qur鈥檃nic call for men and women to be 鈥渢he
protecting friends of one another鈥. Rights are not a competition. There has to
be mutual care and support.
听
The Qur鈥檃n also describes men and women as garments for one another. A garment
beautifies, and protects, so too the Qur鈥檃nic narrative seeks to present a
vision of the world where men and women support and help one another, where we
recognise that men and women each have unique struggles and face their own
types of injustices, and we need to help each other through them.
I pray for a world where we don鈥檛 need a day to be highlighting the injustices
and problems that either gender faces. I hope we can recognise that we鈥檙e all
human beings who should be caring for each other. However, until the reality
matches the ideal, until we don鈥檛 get defined by our gender but by our skills,
until we can exist equitably, then I am glad there is a day that helps us all
reflect.听
