Women’s Equality Day 2021

Women’s Equality Day 2021
Women’s Equality Day, celebrated every August 26, commemorates the passage of women’s suffrage in the U.S. and reminds us of the hurdles overcomed by the heroic women who faced violence and discrimination to propel the women’s movement forward.
Women aren’t done fighting for equal rights. Today, the wage gap between men and women still impacts women’s economic power, and gender-based discrimination still plagues workplaces and business transactions.
To remind us of the struggles of the past, present, and future, August 26 was designated as Women’s Equality Day in 1971.
Agastya International School recognises Women and their Power on this day..

World Humanitarian Day 2021

World Humanitarian Day
In the race against the climate crisis, we can’t leave anyone behind.
On 19 August 2003, a bomb attack on the Canal Hotel in Baghdad, Iraq, killed 22 humanitarian aid workers, including the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello. Five years later, the General Assembly adopted a resolution designating 19 August as World Humanitarian Day.
Each year, World Humanitarian Day focuses on a theme, bringing together partners from across the humanitarian system to advocate for the survival, well-being and dignity of people affected by crises, and for the safety and security of aid workers.
This year, we highlight the immediate human cost of the climate crisis by pressuring world leaders to take meaningful climate action for the world’s most vulnerable people.
We at Agastya International School Rohtak stand in solidarity with the world in promotion of world peace and culture.
