International Women’s Day Action Plan!

International Women’s Day (IWD) has been around for over a hundred years. Since 1911, IWD belongs to all who care about women and gender equality. IWD is about celebrating non-binary and women’s achievements. Raising awareness about discimination and taking action to forge gender parity. All IWD activity is valid, that’s what makes IWD so inclusive. – www.internationalwomensday.com
