International Women's Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 as a focal point in the women's rights movement. IWD gives focus to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.  IWD is one of the most important days of the year to: celebrate women's achievements, educate and awareness raise for women's equality and call for positive change advancing women.

International Women's Day 2024 campaign theme is "Inspire Inclusion".  For International Women's Day 2024 and beyond, let's Inspire Inclusion.  When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment. The aim of the IWD 2024 #InspireInclusion campaign is to collectively forge a more inclusive world for women.                               

Why is International women's Day Purple?   Purple, green and white are the colours of International Women's Day. Purple signifies justice, dignity and being loyal to the cause. Green  symbolizes hope and white represents purity.
