International Women’s Day Celebration – 2018

Each year, many International Women Day events are held worldwide – global gatherings, conferences, awards, exhibitions, festivals, concert performances, speaking events and many more.

Events are held by women’s networks, charities, educational institutions, government bodies, political parties, and of course the media and further communities. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. International Women’s Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women’s movement has helped make the tribute a rallying point to build support for women’s rights and participation in the political and economic arenas.
