What is International Women’s Day?

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It’s one of the most important days of the year to celebrate women’s achievements and to raise awareness about women’s equality. The day aimed to help nations worldwide eliminate discrimination against women. It also focused on helping women gain full and equal participation in global development.
