International Women's Day 2015 ( 8 March) Theme: MAKE IT HAPPEN
All around the world, International Women's Day
represents an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while calling
for greater equality.
Make It Happen is the 2015 theme for our
internationalwomensday.com global hub, encouraging effective action for
advancing and recognising women.
Each year International Women's Day (IWD) is
celebrated on March 8. The first International Women's Day was held in 1911.
Thousands of events occur to mark the economic, political and social
achievements of women. Organisations, governments, charities, educational
institutions, women's groups, corporations and the media celebrate the day.
Various
organisations identify their own International Women's Day theme, specific to
their local context and interests. Many charities, NGOs and Governments also
adopt a relevant theme or campaign to mark the day. For example, organisations
like the UN, Oxfam, Women for Women, Care International, Plan, World
Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and more - run exciting
and powerful campaigns that raise awareness and encourage donations for good
causes. The UN has been declaring an annual equality theme for many years.
