International Women's Day

International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global day, 8th March, celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women in the past, present and future.

It is a day when women are recognised for their achievements, regardless of divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political.

IWD commemorates the past achievements of women and highlights the current social, economic and political issues of women.

On 8th March each year throughout the world, IWD provides an opportunity to develop networks and facilitate partnerships between women, organisations and the broader community. IWD encourages women to get together, support each other, learn from each other and share with each other.
