INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
Since the early 1900s, International Women's Day (IWD) is a world-wide day to come together for gender parity and awareness of women's issues around the globe. For everything from ending domestic abuse and providing equal opportunity, to ending poverty and hunger and supporting healthy activities for girls, IWD is adapted to address women's needs locally, and globally.
When is International Women's Day?
This year, Women's Day is Wednesday, March 8th. We hope you'll join us for our celebration!
