Today March 8th 2021 marks another International Women’s Day celebration:

IWD 2021 campaign theme:

A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.

We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women's achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.

From challenge comes change, so let's all choose to challenge.

Women old and young all over the world take this day as special one worth celebrating and also as an avenue to send a message to the world that 'We Are Here' and that 'We Can And Will Make A Difference!' The day commemorates the movement for women's rights.

According to Wikipedia, March 8 was suggested by the 1910 International Socialist Woman's Conference to become an "International Woman's Day." After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917, March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then predominantly celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted in 1975 by the United Nations.
