A year after MeToo and TimesUp, International Women's Day 2019 is a reminder of where we've been and where we want to go. - NBCNewsBETTER
, #TimesUp, and the Women’s March have helped lead us to solid change in the form of a rush of diverse women in Congress and a bevy of female presidential candidates vying to lead our nation. Yet, concrete, structural change takes a lot of time — which is why IWD’s persistent message remains relevant.
Some sobering statistics: “Based on current trajectories, existing interventions will not suffice to achieve a Planet 50-50 by 2030,” reads the press release about IWD on Both experts agree that everyday has to be IWD for us to make greater strides toward gender parity — and those strides begin just outside our front door. “The way to move people is not in the grand scale of days like this, but it’s the minutiae,” says Richards.
And, as Richards so colorfully illustrates, we have to bear in mind that the push for equality requires yet even more obscene amounts of patience. “I always tell the story of, the first documented woman to run the Boston Marathon. She ran in 1967 and her time was 4 hours and 20 minutes. The man who finished that year was 2 hours and 15 minutes. You jump ahead 50 years and women are finishing at 2 hours and 20 minutes, so women have gained two hours.
