First celebrated in 1911. Over a hundred years later — how far have we come?
When International Women's Day began, the preoccupation was the vote for women, the right to work, to hold public office and to end discrimination. Over a hundred years later — how far have we come? Not so far as we'd like to think. In certain countries things have even got worse. Afghanistan in the late 70s was booming, Kabul a market place for the whole of the East — a vibrant and vital city.
Each year International Women's Day has a different theme, and a long list of events, talks and reflections to go with it. internationalwomensday.com is the place to find what's on, wherever you are.
