This poll is certainly a good starting point for a discussion on Women's rights and gender (in)equalities worldwide. To provide a kind of "language bank", have a look at this link which contains different ways of expressing agreement / disagreement... as well as arguments.
BBC news has a moving article on women who inspire others and in honor of IWD, Globe and Mail has a very curious article on "Where's the best place to be a woman?"
Scholastic has literally tons of interesting resources for teachers and ESLvideo has a very updated interview with Malala Yousafzai (the Pakistani school girl and women's rights activist recently shot) as well as a quiz - a role model for bravery that we could use in classes!
The best for me though is an interactive experience we should all (including sts) try out: "Mind the Gap - Gender & Education" already says much and is described as "An interactive data game that lets you explore the progress and pitfalls of girls’ and women’s education around the world". Here it is:
In my classes and with my adult learners, today I showed the students a tribute video to women which combines good music and pics of women who, throughout the time and in different areas, made a difference. Afterwards I elicited some info from them for a written task I'm sharing below. (the worksheet below has the link to the video):
