Technology is the greatest tool for progress in today’s era. If used properly and through it, women should learn to be safer, stronger more empowered because they can see the world at their fingertips today. This abundant knowledge that exists online is incredible. We never had that earlier. If they really consume the right content and absorb and practice that, bringing it into their daily interaction, they can achieve anything and never take it for granted. Right knowledge is the true power, and that’s why I said if the internet is used correctly and consciously. Today is better than yesterday, and I’m positive tomorrow is better. When all women feel comfortable and safe in being themself, I wish for a time when we read the news and find no more crimes because we all are healed and happy.”

It is a way to show how women have and continue to influence the world. As well as celebrating brilliant women, it’s also used as a day to highlight and raise awareness about issues that women have faced in the past and still face today.
