It's a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
"The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organisation but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights" (Gloria Steinem).
International Women's Day (IWD) has been occurring for well over a century.
What colours signify International Women's Day? Purple with green represents traditional feminism and purple with yellow represents progressive contemporary feminism.
Think globally and act locally!
Make everyday International Women's Day.
Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.
