Written by-Mohini Sharma (8-march-2024)

Every year on March 8th, the world comes together to celebrate International Women's Day. This global event isn't limited to any specific country, group, or organization – it's a day for everyone to acknowledge and honor the incredible contributions women make in all areas of life, from social and economic spheres to cultural and political influence.

The story of International Women's Day goes back to the early 1900s, with the first gathering held in 1911 attracting over a million people! The theme for 2024, #InspireInclusion, calls for a world free of discrimination, one that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. To help you celebrate effectively, free resources and planning tools are available online.

International Women's Day isn't just about celebration, it's also about action. Numerous events are held worldwide, providing opportunities to connect with women-owned businesses and find inspiring speakers. Women creatives play a crucial role in driving change through their artistic expressions, from captivating art to powerful poetry.

This inclusive movement welcomes everyone to participate, making it the world's largest employee engagement day focused on women. It's a chance for progressive organizations to showcase their commitment to gender equality and celebrate the achievements of their female employees. Through partnerships with both global brands and local groups, International Women's Day plays a vital role in achieving gender parity.

You can also contribute to this global effort by supporting organizations that work towards the well-being of women and girls, such as WAGGGS and Catalyst. Additionally, you can connect with the official International Women's Day community through social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

By celebrating and supporting every woman in every corner of the world, we can work together to create a more equitable future for all.
