International Women's Day 8 March 2012

Today, Thursday 8 March 2012 is the 101st International Women's Day with thousands of events occurring worldwide that celebrate women’s progress or rally against inequality.


For decades women have banded together to challenge injustices, overcome barriers and pursue equality. International Women's Day provides an opportunity to commemorate these efforts, celebrate progress and call for commitment to women’s rights, peace and equality.

International Women’s Day, continues to provide a powerful opportunity to unite, network and mobilise worldwide for meaningful change. It provides an opportunity to make a stand against inequality, discrimination and marginalisation that only serves to weaken all of our societies.
