About International Women's Day

International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Celebrated annually on 8 March, the day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women's achievements or rally for women's equality. 

The broad objectives of International Women's Day are to:

  • celebrate women's achievements;

  • raise awareness about women's equality;

  • lobby for accelerated gender parity; and

  • fundraise for female-focussed charities.
