Paired discussion Why do we recognise and commemorate events such as Remembrance Day, Black History Month and Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender History Month? What do you think the purpose is of celebrating International Women’s Day?

2013 Theme for International Women’s Day THE GENDER AGENDA: GAINING MOMENTUM Over time and distance, the equal rights of women have progressed. We celebrate the achievements of women whilst understanding that further progress is needed.

International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated around the world on March 8 every year. It began as a campaign for better working conditions by women in New York at the turn of the 20th century. The first official IWD was on February 28, No one knows for sure why the date changed to March 8, but this is the date when thousands of women started annual marches in New York’s streets. Since then, IWD has spread around the world. Today it is an important day to highlight the economic, political and social contributions women have made to our world.

IWD is an official holiday in many countries, including Algeria, China, Cuba, Italy, Poland, Vietnam, and Zambia. All across the world, men give flowers and other gifts to the women in their lives - mothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters, teachers, etc. In Portugal and Romania, women celebrate by having "women-only" dinners. IWD is a big event in India, where people hold celebrations throughout the day. All around the world women are becoming more powerful in business, entertainment, politics and other areas. There are over a dozen nations today with women leaders. However, IWD is still necessary to highlight the inequality millions of women still face.
