about what we have already been talking in class:
Yesterday, that is to say March 8th, was International Women's Day, a special date celebrating women and women's right worldwide ( tout autour du monde). Although ( bien que) we all agree that women are still undergoing (to undergo: subir) injustice and unequal treatments nowadays, we argue in class that it may not be serving ( to serve: aider) women's fight for equality to have a special day celebrating only one gender. Moreover, ( de plus) this special day offered to women only one day per year does little to improve sometimes the horrific situation in which some women are in. Yet ( cependant) , it enables to raise awareness on this unequal treatment.
to do little to + verb= changer peu de chose / faire peu pour...
to be in a situation
to enable= permettre (pas dans le sens autorisation, mais dans le sens capacité) rendre possible

The theme for International Women’s Day, 8 March, is “Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives”.
This year, International Women’s Day comes on the heels of unprecedented global movement for women’s rights, equality and justice. This has taken the form of global marches and campaigns, including #MeToo and #TimesUp in the United States of America and their counterparts in other countries, on issues ranging from sexual harassment and femicide to equal pay and women’s political representation.
Echoing the priority theme of the upcoming 62nd session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women, International Women’s Day will also draw attention to the rights and activism of rural women, who make up over a quarter of the world population, and are being left behind in every measure of development.
Join us to transform the momentum into action, to empower women in all settings, rural and urban, and to celebrate the activists who are working relentlessly to claim women’s rights and realize their full potential.
The #TimeisNow.
