New York– Waving signs and holding banners bearing the slogan "Planet 50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality and Women's Rights", thousands snaked through midtown Manhattan on 8 March in a collective show of solidarity for the global women's movement.
"We need global action – Action!" UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the energized crowd assembled in Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, near the United Nations Headquarters. Reflecting on the 20 years since world leaders adopted the Beijing Declaration, he said "progress is too slow, too uneven."
