About International Women's Day
International Women's Day (IWD) was started in 1911 and is held annually on March 8. It is a global day to celebrate social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It is also a day to raise awareness about women's equality and to call for positive change advancing women. In addition, one of the IWD's seven missions is to forge inclusive work cultures where women's careers thrive and their achievements are celebrated.
