Every year on March 8th, the world recognizes International Women\u2019s Day. It\u2019s a day for celebrating the economic, social, cultural, and political accomplishments of women and for celebrating Women\u2019s Rights<\/a>. In 1911, over a million people from Austria, Germany, Denmark, and Switzerland celebrated the first International Women\u2019s Day<\/a>. Today, in addition to celebrating women\u2019s achievements, IWD is an opportunity to call for gender equality and justice. Speeches are held at events around the world. How do you write a good speech for International Women\u2019s Day? Here are seven tips and examples:<\/p>\n

Tip #1: Know your audience<\/h2>\n

Before writing a speech, you want to know who your audience is and what they care about. Without this information, you may write something that doesn\u2019t resonate. It may not be bad, but it may miss the mark. As an example, if you don\u2019t know recent college graduates make up most of your audience, you may write a speech that fails to take into account their youth, their goals (like starting a career), their knowledge and experience of history, and so on. Your audience\u2019s age is just one piece of information about them. In a 2019 article on Ideas.Ted.com<\/a>, Briar Goldberg describes how audiences can be broken into three types: expert, novice, and mixed. If you\u2019re speaking to an expert audience, you\u2019ll rely on more complex arguments and terminology than if you were speaking to a novice audience. With mixed audiences, appealing to emotions is often the best choice.<\/p>\n

At the 2020 International Finance Corporation\u2019s celebration event for International Women\u2019s Day, the CEO Philippe Le Hou\u00e9rou spoke to his audience\u2019s interests by focusing on economics, numbers, and ways IFC is addressing gender inequality, saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cAt IFC, we have developed a comprehensive approach to reducing gender inequality. We create partnerships to encourage the hiring of women and improve their working conditions. We help expand access to financial services for women. We invest in innovative technologies that expand choices for female consumers and employment. And we work with partners to provide business skills and leadership training to women entrepreneurs.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Tip #2: Write a strong opening<\/h2>\n

A strong opening engages the listener and gives them a general roadmap of your speech. Depending on your speech\u2019s context and audience, you can experiment with opening styles. If you\u2019re speaking to a general audience, an anecdote is a great way to capture your listener\u2019s attention and get them emotionally invested. If your audience consists of experts or academics, it might be best to keep your introduction as brief as possible (many speeches begin with thank yous), so you can spend more time on the speech\u2019s main points.<\/p>\n

Consider then-UN Women Deputy Executive Director Lakshmi Puri\u2019s 2013 speech<\/a> to the mostly-expert audience of the Open Society Foundation. Her topic was on the importance of girls\u2019 education. After thanking the audience, she opened with strong, clear language to emphasize the speech\u2019s main message:<\/p>\n

\u201cYour Excellencies, fellow panelists, ladies and gentlemen. I am honoured to be participating in this very important side event on the right to education in the post-2015 agenda. I sincerely thank the International Council for Adult Education, the Global Campaign for Education and all of the convening organizations for inviting me to speak today. UN Women considers that education is one of the greatest game-changers for women and girls around the world. It is both an enabler and force multiplier for women\u2019s economic, political and social empowerment and gender equality.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Tip #3: Include statistics to support your claims<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re writing a speech about issues like gender equality in education, healthcare, or the workplace, you want to give the audience specific information about the issue. Without key statistics<\/a>, the audience won\u2019t know how serious an issue is or what progress is being made. It isn\u2019t enough to say that \u201cmany\u201d girls don\u2019t receive equal education compared to boys or that things are \u201cimproving.\u201d What are the actual numbers? Sharing statistics also shows you did your research, which gives your words credibility.<\/p>\n

You can also include data to show what specific organizations are doing<\/a> and how they\u2019re impacting gender equality. That\u2019s what Michelle Obama did in her 2016 speech at the Let Girls Learn event<\/a> that celebrated Women\u2019s Day. She sprinkled facts through her speech on how Let Girls Learn was making a difference. Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n

\u201cFolks of all ages and all walks of life are stepping up, as well. More than 1,600 people in nearly all 50 states have donated money to Let Girls Learn Peace Corps projects. Our #62MillionGirls hashtag was the number-one hashtag in the U.S., with people across the country talking about the power of education. And we\u2019ll be launching the next phase of this social media campaign next week at South by Southwest.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Tip #4: Strike the right tone<\/h2>\n

How do you want to present yourself? What kinds of emotions do you want to stir in your audience? These types of questions help you identify the appropriate tone for your speech. This is another reason why knowing your audience matters. When you\u2019re speaking to a group of seasoned experts in a formal setting, your tone will likely sound more analytical and logical. If you were speaking in a more casual environment to a group unfamiliar with your subject, you\u2019ll probably want to adopt a more personal, conversational style. If you want to provoke emotions in your listeners and get them to care, stories are very effective. If your goal is to inform and educate, it\u2019s wise to rely on facts and stats.<\/p>\n

Tracee Ellis Ross\u2019 2018 TED Talk<\/a> on women\u2019s anger is a great example of a speech with a tone that fits the speech\u2019s context. She\u2019s speaking to a mixed-gender audience in a non-academic setting. Because the topic she\u2019s covering is personal, she uses a conversational, almost intimate style that switches between the first and second person. She addresses both the women and men in the audience, but keeps the women centered. Here\u2019s an example toward the end of the speech:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur culture is shifting, and it’s time. So my fellow women and our gentle men, as we are here together within this particular window of this large-scale movement towards women’s equality, and as we envision a future that does not yet exist, we both have different invitations.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Tip #5: Pay attention to structure<\/h2>\n

At their most basic, speeches consist of an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Each section serves an important purpose. The introduction establishes your credibility, the speech\u2019s tone, and its goals. The body, which is the main part of the speech, fills in the points you want to cover using statistics, stories, or other forms of evidence. The conclusion wraps everything up and emphasizes what you want your audience to remember. Unlike something that\u2019s written, your audience can\u2019t look back to find their way if they get lost, so as you move through the three sections, you want things to be as clear and simple as possible.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Srishti Baksh gave a TedTalk<\/a> relating her 2,300-mile walk journey across India where she held driving workshops to empower women\u2019s ability to move across the country. She uses a simple structure that opens with the story of the first time she went to a movie alone with her friends at age 14. She was assaulted in the theater. She then zooms out, describing how there are 600 million women in India, but women rarely go outside because they\u2019re not safe. In the body of her speech, she zooms back in to talk about her walking journey, the women she met, the empowering and terrifying things she witnessed, and how she joined forces with another woman to create a movement that trains female drivers. She concludes with a clear message:<\/p>\n

\u201cBy rethinking mobility for women, giving them a safe transport and safety outside of home, it is our hope to transform our culture. Apart from having a profound impact on the Indian economy, this is about something much bigger. As you all know, when we move, we can be seen. The more women see other women in public spaces, the more safe, independent and empowered each one of us will be. So. If we can learn how to walk, certainly we can learn how to fly.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Tip #6: Use repetition to your advantage<\/h2>\n

How do you make sure your audience gets the point of your speech? How do you make your speech – which might be one of many speeches the audience sits through – memorable? Repetition. You want to repeat your main point throughout your speech. It\u2019s a good idea to include it at least three times: in the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. There are other types of repetition that make your speech memorable, too. Repetition<\/a> can include keywords, phrases, and even the sounds of words. Repetition looks different depending on what kind of speech you\u2019re giving. If you\u2019re giving an emotion-driven speech, frequent repetition of the same words\/phrases adds to the emotional punch. For informational or educational speeches where powerful emotions aren\u2019t necessarily appropriate, use different words\/phrases to repeat the main point.<\/p>\n

For an example of good repetition in a speech, let\u2019s look at Kimberl\u00e9 Williams Crenshaw\u2019s 2016 Keynote at Women of the World<\/a>. From a word search, it\u2019s clear what the speech is about. Together, the words \u201cintersectionality\u201d and \u201cintersectional\u201d appear 42 times. Repetition is found within sentences and paragraphs, too:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are multiple forms of intersectionality<\/u>. I could talk about a lot of them, but the kind of intersectionality<\/u> that I most want to talk about is the intersectionality<\/u> around politics \u2013 political intersectionality<\/u>.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSo the question we have to ask is, what can we each do about it? We’ve been saying the first thing you can do about it is say her name. Do not allow<\/u> her death to happen in silence. Do not allow<\/u> their children, their loved ones to grieve for them in silence. Do not allow<\/u>, do not affirm the belief that their lives are insignificant.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Tip #7: Ask rhetorical questions<\/h2>\n

Do you want to increase audience engagement? Ask rhetorical questions. When you ask a question, your audience is forced to think more deeply about your words. They\u2019re more likely to listen more closely, as well, since the information that follows a question will provide more context. You can use rhetorical questions in a few ways. You can anticipate a question your audience might have, set up an important point, or even encourage an emotional response. Even though audience members won\u2019t shout out an answer (unless you encourage them to do so), asking questions makes your speech feel more interactive and engaging.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at a 2003 speech by Maxine Waters<\/a> at the National Youth Summit. While it isn\u2019t directly about women\u2019s rights<\/a>, it serves as a great example of how to use questions in a speech. Right from the beginning, it\u2019s clear this speech is going to be interactive. She says good morning to the audience and then prompts them to answer her. Through the speech, Waters asks many questions (some rhetorical, some direct), all of which make the speech engaging even through a transcript:<\/p>\n

\u201cWho makes up this jury? [Waters is discussing a trial involving a White cop and a Black teenager that ended in a hung jury and mistrial] A lot of people were very, very concerned because there was only one black person on the jury. The city of Inglewood is majority minority, and majority African-American. How could this have happened? How could you get a jury with only one black, in a case where the defendants are African-American, in a city where it is majority minority and mostly black? How could this happen?\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":12945,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8805],"tags":[12035],"class_list":["post-12931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-issues","tag-iwd","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWriting A Women\u2019s Day Speech: 7 Tips and Examples | Human Rights Careers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"How do you write a good speech for International Women\u2019s Day?
