INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

8th of March

2011 will see the global centenary year for International Women’s Day - 100 years since International Women's Day was marked for the first time where more than one million women and men attended rallies. Since its birth in the socialist movement, International Women's Day has grown to become a global day of recognition and celebration across developed and developing countries alike. For decades, IWD has grown from strength to strength annually. For many years the United Nations has held an annual IWD conference to coordinate international efforts for women's rights and participation in social, political and economic processes.1975 was designated as 'International Women's Year' by the United Nations. The new millennium has witnessed a significant change and attitudinal shift in both women's and society's thoughts about women's equality and emancipation. Annually on 8 March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. Those events occur not just on this day but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. Go and find the event held in your country.
