SlogansWomen empowerment and Women's Day slogans
International Women's Day is observed on 8 March every year. These slogans are about equal chances, equal respect and equal say, at home, at school and at work.
English
Equal work. Equal pay. Equal say.
She does not need a pedestal. She needs a fair chance.
Educate a girl, and she will not need rescuing.
Respect is not a gift for one day in March.
Where she goes is her decision.
Strong women are raised by families that listen.
Share the housework. Share the future.
A daughter at the wheel, a nation on the move.
Ask her opinion. Then take it seriously.
Safety is her right, not her responsibility alone.
Boys who respect at home, men who respect everywhere.
She can, so let her.
Count her in, from the first meeting.
हिन्दी
बराबर पढ़ाई, बराबर कमाई, बराबर सुनवाई।
देवी मत बनाओ, बराबरी का हक़ दिलाओ।
घर का काम सबका काम, मिलकर करो तो हो आराम।
बेटी की राय भी पूछो, और उसे मानो भी।
पढ़ी लिखी नारी, घर की रोशनी सारी।
नारी का सम्मान एक दिन नहीं, हर दिन।
बेटों को सिखाओ इज़्ज़त करना, यही है असली शिक्षा।
उसके सपनों को पंख दो, पिंजरा नहीं।
जहाँ औरत की बात सुनी जाती है, वह घर आगे बढ़ता है।
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ
ਬਰਾਬਰ ਪੜ੍ਹਾਈ, ਬਰਾਬਰ ਕਮਾਈ, ਬਰਾਬਰ ਸੁਣਵਾਈ।
ਧੀਆਂ ਭੈਣਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਤਿਕਾਰ, ਇਹੀ ਚੰਗੇ ਘਰ ਦਾ ਆਧਾਰ।
ਘਰ ਦਾ ਕੰਮ ਸਭ ਦਾ ਕੰਮ।
ਪੜ੍ਹੀ ਲਿਖੀ ਧੀ, ਦੋ ਘਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਚਾਨਣ।
ਉਹਦੀ ਰਾਇ ਵੀ ਪੁੱਛੋ, ਉਹਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਵੀ ਮੰਨੋ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Where these slogans are used
Women's Day programmes in schools, colleges and offices, self-help group meetings, rallies, essay and speech competitions, and posters. They also suit the farewell of a woman colleague or the felicitation of a girl who has topped, where a line on a banner means more than a bouquet.
Write your own
The strongest lines on this subject are not about worship or pity. Calling a woman a goddess does not get her a seat at the table, and calling her weak is simply untrue. Write about fairness in ordinary things: the same schooling, the same pay for the same work, a share in decisions, safety on the road, housework shared at home. Lines addressed to men and boys are among the most useful, because respect is everybody's work.
- English pairs: equal and sequel, voice and choice, rise and wise, she and free, respect and expect.
- Hindi pairs: नारी and भारी, बराबर and घर घर, सम्मान and पहचान, शक्ति and भक्ति, हक़ and बेशक.
- Punjabi pairs: ਔਰਤ and ਤਾਕਤ, ਮਾਣ and ਸ਼ਾਨ, ਬਰਾਬਰ and ਘਰ ਘਰ.
Three poster ideas
- A weighing scale with a boy and a girl at the same level, and the slogan across the beam.
- A row of women at work as a pilot, farmer, doctor, mechanic, sarpanch and teacher, with one line beneath.
- A kitchen with the whole family cooking, for a slogan on sharing work at home.
What to avoid
- Lines that praise women only for sacrifice. The point is that sacrifice should not be demanded.
- Lines that insult men. Equality has no enemy.
- Laws, sections and helpline numbers written from memory. Take them from an official source on the day, or leave them out.
Using these slogans
- On a school poster, show girls and boys doing the same thing side by side.
