They held handsigns which said, \u201cWe want bread, but we want roses too.\u201d<\/p><p>A new law had just come into effect where working hours for women were reduced to 54 from 56 hours per week. But it also meant lower wages.<\/p><p>Frustrated, the women protested for nearly 2 months.<\/p><p>This movement, immortalized as &#8220;Bread and Roses&#8221;, was not just about wages, though. It was also a demand for the fullness of humanity. For something far greater like dignity, respect, and a better quality of life. Women needed life&#8217;s necessities like bread but also to reach beyond and experience the beauty in living.<\/p><p>It&#8217;s a movement that resonates today as much as it did over a century ago. Women continue to face barriers to gender equality like a widening pay gap and the broken rung. There&#8217;s an urgent need to address women&#8217;s rights, for equality and equity to not be confined to paychecks, but extended to opportunity, representation, and the right to dream of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive world.<\/p><p>International Women\u2019s Day (IWD) 2025 is just a few weeks away and this year&#8217;s theme is &#8220;Accelerate Action.&#8221; The United Nation\u2019s theme, too, calls for action that ensures &#8220;For ALL women and girls: Rights.
