New York, USA – Miss USA Olivia Jordan joined women of every continent in the world to celebrate the annual International Women’s Day last Tuesday.
An article by Bianca Rose Dabu for GMA News published on March 9 said that the Miss Universe 2015 second runner-up talked about women empowerment in an Instagram post where she also talked about the unforgettable win of Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach as Miss Universe 2015.
“Empowered women empower women. Let’s celebrate the success of those around us and always keep it positive! The success of others does not take away from your success. There are enough wonderful opportunities in the world to go around. Lift others up and before you know it, it will be your turn to celebrate your own beautiful destiny,” Olivia said in her Instagram post.

“What an insane moment that I got to tell @piawurtzbach that her dream had just come true. And what an incredible @missuniverse she has already been! #InternationalWomensDay #liftothersup #empowerwomen,” she added.
A few days ago, Jordan and Wurtzbach joined forces to support the call to end violence against women worldwide. Both of them also took part in the United Nations Women for Peace Association’s “March in March” campaign last Saturday, March 5, which aims to bring attention to the many ways violence impacts women on a global scale.
According to the International Women’s Day website, the 2016 campaign theme is “Pledge for Parity.”
Gender Parity, otherwise known as Gender Parity Index (GPI) is a socioeconomic index usually designed to measure the relative access to education of males and females. In its simplest form, it is calculated as the quotient of the number of females by the number of males enrolled in a given stage of education.
“Worldwide, women continue to contribute to social, economic, cultural and political achievement. And we have much to celebrate today. But progress towards gender parity has slowed in many places,” the International Women’s Day website said.
