International Women's Day on Twitter

The 18th of Esfand marks International Women's Day, which has received widespread attention on social media. Various findings regarding employment, education, and issues such as gender and legal inequalities have captured the interest of social media users, particularly on Twitter. According to the analytical news website 'Nature,' less than 1.8% of members of global scientific societies are women, while men dominate these societies with an 80% majority. The weekly magazine 'The Economist' states in an article titled 'The Weaker Sex' that research shows that unlike the 1960s when boys were ahead in education, it is now the girls who have surpassed boys in schools and universities. The website 'MUBI,' which is a platform for sharing films, has notably presented a list of female contributors in global cinema categorized into independent, silent, animation, etc., featuring names from Samira Makhmalbaf to Sofia Coppola and Agnieszka Holland. It is also noteworthy that the title of the best-selling author of all time belongs to Agatha Christie, the English crime writer known for her famous characters Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. In a remarkable move, the British Film Institute has selected 29 inspiring female filmmakers from around the world, including Samira Makhmalbaf. The G-Plus network, a subsidiary of the global Al Jazeera network, reports on a group of girls in Mexico fighting against street harassment using a plastic weapon that shoots colored paper and confetti. These girls shoot at the harasser and begin singing a punk rock-style protest song. The famous magazine National Geographic has also reported on the death of 303,000 women due to childbirth-related issues last year worldwide, noting that most of these women who lost their lives were from developing countries.
