Each year on March 8th the world celebrates International Women’s Day. The day aims to celebrate the achievements of women and highlight the issues that are working against gender parity.
Each year International Women’s Day grows and takes on a new theme. This year’s theme is Generation Equality. The theme encourages increasing visibility and equality for women and their full participation in the economy, politics, community and everyday life.
