It’s International Women’s Day!
Each year on 8th March, we celebrate every woman’s role in developing a greater future.
International Women’s Day (IWD) is an opportunity for us to reflect on women’s rights, the state of gender equity in our society and abroad, how far we have come, and what we will continue to fight for in the future.
Since the first globally celebrated IWD in the early 1900’s, gender equity has considerably improved – but there is still a long way to go.
Both in our own country and across the world, women must work together, alongside men, to promote equal rights and opportunities for all. IWD gives us all an opportunity to reflect on this future work.
From all of us at IWDA, Happy International Women’s Day!
