This is a day in which we celebrate the contributions and achievements of women from all around the world. It is also a day that reminds us of the women and young girls who need our support: women who are fleeing persecution; women who are trying to survive in war-torn countries; women who are exploited through human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual assault, and rape; and women who struggle to feed their children, to find safe shelter, or try to access education.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4789337\" data-originallang=\"en\">Therefore, as we celebrate all that has been achieved over the years, let us remember how much we have yet to do. It is our responsibility as women and members of a global family to help those who continue to struggle. We should not and cannot stop until all of us are on an equal footing with equal opportunities and equal rights.</p>",

C'est une journ\u00e9e au cours de laquelle nous mettons \u00e0 l'honneur les contributions et les r\u00e9alisations de femmes du monde entier. C'est aussi une journ\u00e9e qui nous rappelle les femmes et les filles qui ont besoin de notre soutien: les femmes qui fuient la pers\u00e9cution, les femmes qui tentent de survivre dans un pays d\u00e9chir\u00e9 par la guerre, les femmes victimes de la traite des personnes, de violence conjugale, d'agression sexuelle ou de viol, et les femmes qui se d\u00e9m\u00e8nent pour nourrir leurs enfants, pour trouver un refuge s\u00fbr ou pour pouvoir s'instruire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4789337\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par cons\u00e9quent, au moment de c\u00e9l\u00e9brer tout ce qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 accompli au fil des ans, songeons \u00e0 tout le chemin qu'il nous reste \u00e0 parcourir. Il nous incombe, comme femmes et comme membres de la grande famille mondiale, d'aider celles qui luttent encore. Nous ne devons pas et nous ne pouvons pas arr\u00eater tant que nous ne serons pas toutes trait\u00e9es en \u00e9gales des hommes, en b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiant des m\u00eames chances et des m\u00eames droits.</p>"
