What is International Women's Day?

International Women's Day is a global event marked on March 8th each year recognising the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It's a chance to educate people and raise awareness of women's equality. 2024's theme is 'Inspire Inclusion' which encourages people to speak out against discrimination, challenge stereotypes, beat bias and seek out inclusion.
