International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8th across the world. It is also known as the United Nations (UN) Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace.
IWD is a day to celebrate the social, political and economic achievements of all women.We recognize and honour women who have played an incredible role in the history of their countries and communities. We show appreciation and respect for the many amazing women today who are paving the way and creating opportunities and equality for our future generations. The day has focused and fought for many different issues in the last 100 years, from its beginnings in women's right to vote to highlighting violence against women in the 21st century. The focus this year is to empower women, envisioning a world where every girl and woman can exercise their right to have choices, get an education, have an income and live in a society free from violence and discrimination.
