International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for promoting gender equity.

Let’s support this year’s theme, “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.This theme is aligned with the priority theme for the upcoming 67th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW-67), ‘Innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls‘”.

Marked annually on March 8th, International Women’s Day (IWD) is one of the most important days of the year to:

• celebrate women’s achievements
• raise awareness about women’s equality
• lobby for accelerated gender parity
• fundraise for female-focused charities
