International Woman’s Day
International Woman’s Day, A global event where we celebrate social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day to also accelerate woman’s’ equality!
This day has been here for over a century with the first gathering in 1911 which was supported by over 1 million people. Today it belongs to groups everywhere and it isn’t exclusive to a country, group, or organisation.

This year’s theme is about breaking the bias. #BreakTheBias
