International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality.
International Women's Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.
The theme for IWD 2020 is #EachforEqual, recognising all of the actions we can take as individuals to challenge stereotypes, fight prejudice and celebrate women's achievements.
According to The Telegraph: There are a host of free and ticketed events taking place across the country, including talks, workshops and film screenings.
For a full list of events in your local area, check out the official International Women's Day website.
A big part of International Womens Day is raising awareness, so you can do your bit by promoting the day on Social Media. Post your #IWD2020 message on social media with your "hands out" equal pose for a strong call-to-action for others to support #EachforEqual also.
