International Women's Day

International Women's Day

International Women's Day  is celebrated on the 8th of March every year around the world.

It is a focal point in the movement for women's rights.

The United Nations began celebrating International Women's Day in the International Women's Year, 1975. In 1977, the United Nations General Assembly invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day for women's rights and world peace

The UN theme for International Women's Day was: 'I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights'.
