Today is International Women’s Day. Gender equality is one of the cornerstones of Iceland’s foreign policy. On the international stage, Iceland is a leading voice for women’s empowerment, equal opportunities, equal pay, justice, and a life free from gender-based violence. Women’s equal participation must be ensured in all areas of society, including in issues concerning peace and security particularly in times of conflict and backlash against gender equality. Gender equality and mutual respect are issues of justice that concern everyone. Iceland therefore works to engage men and boys in advancing equality. Equality benefits us all. Join the fight for gender equality. Learn more: https://tinyurl.com/4n3furdk
