This year's Women's Day focus is #EachForEqual<\/h2>\n
\n

Presented during the World Economic Forum, the core message behind the #EachForEqual campaign for this year's International Women\u2019s Day<\/a> (on Sunday) aims to draw attention to the idea that gender inequality is an economic issue. Gender equality is essential for economies and communities to thrive, starting by tackling the gender gap. Amongst others, the campaign focuses on key areas such as business boardrooms, government departments and media coverage to spread the word. The campaign is expected to make a change b<\/span>y celebrating women\u2019s achievements, raising awareness of bias and calling out inequality.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Women's Day?<\/strong> The United Nations first celebrated International Women\u2019s Day during International Women\u2019s Year in 1975. By 1977, the UN and its member states proclaimed 8 March would be an official day for women\u2019s rights and world peace, that is now observed all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The #EachForEqual campaign has become a symbol of the movement, which goes far beyond 8 March, with activities running yearly. The idea is to reinforce and encourage collective action, holding events and talks that urge us all to share responsibility and change mentalities.<\/p>\n

UK Government to drop 5G Huawei's agreement by 2023<\/h2>\n

A group of around 40 MPs are pressuring Boris Johnson to rethink the controversial decision to allow the Chinese firm Huawei to supply more than a third of the UK's 5G network equipment. The government may reduce Huawei's involvement in the UK's 5G infrastructure from 35% to zero by 2023.<\/p>\n

The reason for this decision is that the government thinks Britain's technology could be exploited for mass surveillance by the Chinese state due to a lack of data security in its agreement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A debate will occur next Wednesday as Bob Seely, the Conservative MP for the Isle of Wight, asked BT to investigate whether using Huawei was anti-slavery compliant. This investigation follows allegations by an Australian thinktank that some of the Huawei's subcontractors used forced labour from China's Muslim minority. A study \"Uyghurs For Sale\" conducted by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute concluded that Uighurs are working in the supply chain of Huawei and dozens of other global brands \"under conditions that strongly suggest forced labour\".<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
