International Day to Combat Islamophobia

March 15th is the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, a day that the associates of the project LAB4GE want to recognize. It is important to address the harmful impact of anti-Muslim prejudice and discrimination. At the same time, we must also remember that Islamophobia is not just about religion – it is also closely linked to gender inequality.

Muslim women are often targeted by Islamophobic attacks and stereotypes that paint them as oppressed and helpless. But the reality is far more complex: Muslim women are leaders, innovators, and changemakers in their communities and beyond. By fighting Islamophobia and promoting gender equality, we can help Muslim women and all women around the world to live full, free lives. We must work to dismantle the harmful stereotypes and systemic barriers that hold women back, whether they are Muslim or not.

On this International Day to Combat Islamophobia, LAB4GE commits to standing up against all forms of discrimination and creating a world where everyone is free to live and thrive regardless of their religion, gender, or any other characteristic.

International Women´s Day – 8th March

On Women’s Day, the partners involved in the LAB4GE project, want to honor the incredible achievements of women around the world, and acknowledge the work that still needs to be done to achieve true gender equality.

Today, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of women and acknowledge the challenges they continue to face in the fight for gender equality. We believe that a world where all genders are treated equally is not only possible but necessary. On this day, we call for everyone to commit to taking action toward gender parity, and we recognize that when women succeed, we all benefit.

As Ruth Bader Ginsburg said: “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made”.

Let’s continue to work together toward a future where every woman can live freely and safely, and her potential is not limited by her gender.

International Day of Education – 24 January

When it adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in September 2015, the international community recognized that education is essential for the success of all 17 of its goals. Sustainable Development Goal 4, in particular, aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030.

January 24 was declared the International Day of Education by a resolution that was passed by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on 3rd December 2018. Thereafter, on 24th January 2019 the first International Day of Education was celebrated. The message by UNGA is being spread across the globe. Their sincere efforts worldwide have shown promising results in the betterment of an educated individual that constitutes a cultured society, which is supported with optimism and opportunities.

The fifth International Day of Education will be celebrated on 24 January 2023 under the theme “to invest in people, prioritize education”. Building on the global momentum generated by the UN Transforming Education Summit in September 2022, this year’s Day will call for maintaining strong political mobilization around education and chart the way to translate commitments and global initiatives into action. Education must be prioritized to accelerate progress towards all the Sustainable Development Goals against the backdrop of a global recession, growing inequalities and the climate crisis.

International Human Solidarity Day

The United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed in September 2000, adopted 60 goals which identified solidarity as one of the core values in international relations within the 21st century, particularly when combating global poverty and the increasing inequality it brings.

Therefore, the UN General Assembly, convinced that the promotion of the culture of solidarity and the spirit of sharing is important for combating poverty, proclaimed 20^th December as International Human Solidarity Day.

Today, in the context of globalization and the challenge of growing inequalities, the LAB4GE partners are convinced that strengthening the culture of solidarity and together taking action on gender issues is essential to effectively contribute to gender equality.

The LAB4GE partners would like to mark this day and raise awareness of this important issue. We hope that we all can find a way to start paying more attention to gender equality in computer literacy.

World Computer Literacy Day – 2nd December

Digital technology has changed the world. Particularly in the last 20 years, digital advances have enhanced social and business connectivity offered tech-based solutions for financial inclusion and increased access to trade and public services. But the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) reports that more than 50% of the world’s women are offline.

This phenomenon is often referred to as the gender digital divide, which describes ways in which gender inequality in the physical world is replicated in the digital world. This translates into large gaps in women’s and girls’ digital adoption, access and meaningful use compared to men and boys.
Every year, on 2nd December World Computer Literacy Day, is celebrated.
