Each year around the world, International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. Hundreds of events occur not just on this day but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. Organisations, governments and women's groups around the world choose different themes each year that reflect global and local gender issues. This year's theme is "Women and men united to end violence against women and girls". Source and more information: http://www.internationalwomensday.com/
My students have contributed to this day by means of a series of projects about women's work in the different fields.
The first International Women's Day was celebrated in 1911. For more information, click here.
