March 8th International Women's Day is an annual worldwide occasion to celebrate women's accomplishments, contributions, and strength across all domains like politics, science, sport, business, etc. and the continuing fight for gender equality and women's rights around the world. Many governments, organizations, and communities develop events, marketing efforts, and discussions as an awareness vehicle for issues including equal access or opportunity, representation, and empowerment of women. The continued growth of International Women's Day into a global movement is a means for communities to both acknowledge progress made by women, as well as recognize the ongoing issues that women continue to face in achieving true equality. Although, it is also a day to honour many of our amazing women leaders and to motivate young girls to pursue careers in a female role model's field.
