World Safe ePay Day is still conceptual
, and I am pitching this wherever possible.
Yes, World Safe ePay Day is possible, the journey is a bit long, but
there is light at the end of the tunnel.
No Vada Pav till the initial
breakthrough.
There are several days in
Mumbai, where breakfast/lunch/dinner was Vada Pav only !!!
**Why mark International Days?**
International days and weeks
educate the public on critical issues, mobilize political will and resources to
address global problems, and celebrate humanity's achievements. Though
predating the UN, these days are powerful advocacy tools embraced by the UN.
Yes, International Days are
important to spread the Joy of our achievements and also address global
problems.
International Days are an
opportunity to mobilise political will to focus on global problems.
**World Safe ePay Day Concept**
In the spirit of raising
awareness and addressing critical global issues, the concept of **World Safe
ePay Day ** is being pitched.
As financial transactions
increasingly move from physical to digital, this proposed observance aims to
highlight the importance of secure online payment practices.
By promoting safe e-payment
methods, World Safe ePay Day would protect individuals and communities from
cyber threats, ensuring that the convenience of online transactions does not
compromise security.
This observance parallels the
importance of inclusive governance and secure financial systems, both crucial
for societal wellbeing and advancement.
Safe and Stylish: Unveiling World Safe
ePay Day and Blouse Day Delights
Yes, the initial focus is on World Safe
ePay Day and little focus on
World Blouse Day.
World Safe ePay Day is abstract i.e one cannot feel digital transactions.
World Blouse Day is an
opportunity for a visual impact.
The need for observing World Safe
ePay Day and World Blouse Day
arises from the absence of dedicated global celebrations for these concepts. World Safe
ePay Day aims to celebrate the joy
of safe electronic payments in all financial transactions, representing an
abstract celebration that highlights the significance of secure and efficient
digital financial interactions. As the world increasingly relies on electronic
payment systems, having a designated day for Safe ePay emphasizes the
importance of secure and reliable digital financial transactions.
On the other hand, World Blouse
Day seeks to celebrate the joys of wearing blouses in a more lively and
visually impactful manner. The concept involves a powerful display of
togetherness, with millions of people stepping out wearing blouses based on a
chosen theme. This display celebration not only promotes a sense of unity but
also serves as a unique and creative expression of shared identity through
clothing.
While international days often
focus on serious matters, World SafeePay Day and World Blouse Day offer a mix
of abstract and lively celebrations, catering to the diverse interests and
aspects of modern life.
In a world where electronic
transactions and cultural expressions are integral parts of daily living, these
designated days would contribute to fostering awareness and appreciation for
safe ePayments and the joy of wearing blouses.
**Inclusive Diplomacy**
Historically overlooked, women's
contributions to diplomacy are immense. Representing half of the world’s
population, women bring diverse leadership styles and priorities, enhancing
diplomacy’s scope and outcomes.
Research shows that women's
involvement in cabinets and parliaments leads to laws and policies beneficial
to people, the environment, and social cohesion.
Women have the knack to see
issues from other angles, which is helpful to resolve the problem at hand.
Inclusive governance ensures
better-informed policies by incorporating diverse perspectives. However,
violence against women in politics hinders progress toward gender equality,
deterring women from participating in politics and voicing opinions.
Women have played crucial roles
in the UN since its founding in 1945. The UN General Assembly, the world's
largest yearly meeting of leaders, has seen limited female representation, with
only four women elected as Presidents in 77 years. The 15-member UN Security
Council also has a low percentage of female members.
Recognizing women’s contributions
in diplomacy is vital. From 1992 to 2019, women represented a small fraction of
negotiators, mediators, and signatories in peace processes worldwide. Gender
equality and women's empowerment contribute significantly to the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
The General Assembly declared 24
June as the International Day of Women in
Diplomacy to promote women’s representation in diplomacy.
The resolution invites global observance through education and public
awareness.
**The Power of Women
Peacebuilders**
Women play a crucial role in
justice, peace, and security but are often sidelined in formal peace processes.
Women peacebuilders work tirelessly to broker and maintain peace, rebuilding
societies from conflict. Their inclusion in peacebuilding is essential for
long-term success, contributing to lasting peace after conflict.
Disclaimer: These are my thoughts only. The only focus is spreading
the Joy of Safe ePayments, and World Safe
ePay Day is one of the channels.
Nothing More – Nothing Less.
