NEW YORK, Mar 5 2026 (IPS) - On 8 March 2026, International Women’s Day, UN Women issues a global alert: justice systems meant to uphold rights and the rule of law are failing women and girls everywhere. Women globally hold just 64 per cent of the legal rights of men, exposing them to discrimination, violence, and exclusion at every stage of their lives. Copyright © 2026 IPS-Inter Press Service.
