International Women’s Day is observed on March 8th every year to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women while calling for greater equality. It is the day to respect and recognize the extraordinary acts of women and to stand together to advance gender equality around the globe. It all began in 1911 with the first IWD gathering supported by over a million people. IWD is not country, group or organization specific. It is everywhere!

Theme of 2020 International Women’s day
2020 International Women’s Day 2020 campaign theme is “Each for Equal”
An equal world is an enabled world.
Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day.
We can actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women’s achievements.
Collectively, each one of us can help create a gender equal world.
Let’s all be #EachforEqual.
The IWD 2020 campaign theme is drawn from a notion of ‘Collective Individualism.’
We are all parts of a whole. Our individual actions, conversations, behaviors and mindsets can have an impact on our larger society.
Collectively, we can make change happen. Collectively, we can each help to create a gender equal world.
We can all choose to be #EachforEqual.
