Why International Women's Day Matters


IWD is more than just a celebration – it encourages us to work towards fairness and equality. The day shines a light on the achievements of women in areas like politics, science, education, and the arts.


It also reminds us that reaching equal rights takes ongoing effort and action. Fairness (equity) means giving women and girls the tools and chances they need to succeed. It means understanding that not everyone starts from the same place.
