Women's Equality Day

WOMEN'S EQUALITY DAY

Women’s Equality Day is celebrated every year on 26 August in the United            States to provide the American women’s  empowerment towards equality with          men.

The 37th US President Richard Nixon, becoming the first president to do this and he officially declared the date as women’s rights day. Since then, every US President has started to announce and declare the 26th August as Women’s Equality Day.

It was first recognized in 1971 to continue the efforts of women to achieve equality.

Later it was rectified by the US nineteenth amendment constitution, which assured the American women’s right.

When more and more women work, then the economy will grow. Women’s  empowerment boosts overall productivity, increases economic diversification, integrity and income equality in addition to other positive development outcomes in the economy. 

Research suggests that increasing Indian states’ spending on education by 1% of GDP would raise female labour force participation by 2 percentage points.

Therefore by providing equal opportunity to men and women the economy will become a stronger economy.
