International Women’s Day is marked each year on March 8th.
Why is IWD so important?
Firstly, it’s a global day celebrating achievements of women; whether social, economic, cultural or political.
Secondly, the day marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
Thirdly, it’s a chance for groups from all over the world to come together. And in doing so, recognize, and share in, the work being done to further equality for women.
