Since 1911, International Women’s Day has been a day to celebrate the achievements of women. Held each year on March 8th, International Women’s Day provides an opportunity to educate and raise awareness about women’s equality and to call for positive change in advancing women.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme is Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress. It’s a reminder that equality helps build a stronger community. Whether you attend a rally, festival, or celebration, everyone can play a part in advancing gender equality. All International Women’s Day activities help contribute to the goal of women’s advancement.
