International Women’s Day is designed to highlight, honor, and celebrate “the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.” Dating back nearly 100 years, this holiday (in some countries) raises the awareness level of how much progress has been made, as well as what still needs doing. This year’s theme is “Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities: Progress for All.” Find an event going on near you, or learn more about what’s happening regarding women’s rights in certain areas.
