The World Grand President, International Chartered World Learned Society (ICWLS), UNESCO Laureate, Professor Sir Bashiru Aremu, has identified with Women globally on the International Womens' Day celebration, 8 March 2021.


The World Grand President, and UNESCO Laureate, Professor Sir Bashiru Aremu, who had always advocated for the achievement of the 17goals of the Sustainable Development Goals around the world disclosed this release to journalists today 8th March 2021 in Abuja.


Knowing fully well that this year's International Women's Day theme is, "ChooseToChallenge
A challenged", had actively engaged Women in a usual manner as to correcting some ills all around the world through the instrumentality of pressure groups, protests and other legally widows around the globe.



" Every year, March 8 is observed globally as International Women’s Day. The theme for 2021 is Choose to Challenge.
The celebration provides ample opportunity to reflect on how women are honoured".

The World Grand President and UNESCO Laureate, Professor Sir Bashiru Aremu, in his release had applauded the Nigeria First Lady, Her Excellency Aisha Buhari for her doggedness and resilient efforts in empowering other women even to International offices.



Prof. Bashiru giving an insight on the history about women's day to get a lot of women informed and see reasons why they should challenge the challenges challenging the earth today elucidated that,
" Chinese communists took up International Women’s Day in 1922 and officially recognized the holiday following their victory in the Chinese Civil War in 1949. Celebrations remained confined to communist dictatorships and their fellow travelers living in free countries until the United Nations adopted International Women’s Day in 1975. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

"The Soviet Union continued to celebrate the holiday that initiated its empire throughout seven horrifying decades of communist rule as Stalin’s purges, famines, and deportations murdered 50 million Russian subjects; his pact with Hitler initiated World War II; Nikita Khrushchev’s belligerence nearly torched the world in the nuclear holocaust; and the Kremlin enslaved one-sixth of the globe behind an Iron Curtain, to name the highlights.

"There is a curious historical parallel that, just as the first woman plunged mankind from Edenic paradise, International Women’s Day condemned humanity to unprecedented horror in the twentieth century".
