International Women's Day is held on 8th March each year and is a global day which celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It is a day to mark a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Worldwide, groups and organisations come together to celebrate women's achievements or to rally for women's equality.
The campaign theme for this year's International Women's Day is Choose To Challenge! A challenged world is an alert world.
We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can choose to seek out and celebrate women's achievements and together we can all play a part in creating an inclusive world.
