International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day, landing on March 8th every year, is a celebration that’s been around since the early 1900s. It began as a way for women to stand up for equal rights and make their voices heard. Now, it’s turned into a much bigger deal. Thousands of events highlight challenges, while applauding women for all they’ve achieved. The campaign theme for International Women’s Day 2024 is ‘Inspire Inclusion’.

But let’s not forget, being a woman still means facing a lot of unfairness and having rights denied. Did you know women generally earn about 24% less than men? And it’s a sad truth that one in three women globally will face violence in their lifetime, often from someone they know. How today is celebrated varies worldwide. Some countries mark a public holiday, while others blend it with Mother’s Day. It’s all about shining a spotlight on women and throwing a big, well-deserved celebration for them.
