On Friday 8th March, Women will be celebrated around the world during International Women's Day.
This is a global day in which recognition is made of the talents and achievements of women from all over the world and in all aspects of society, at the same time promoting gender balance worldwide.
The first International Women's Day celebration (IWD) was in 1911 when a gathering of over a million people from Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark took place in support of this celebration.
This year's theme is: Better the balance, better the world , #balanceforbetter which is not just a theme to last for the day, but a continuing campaign for the whole year to help towards bringing greater gender-balance to our world.
As well as the many different IWD events that you can attend in support of this, there is also a very creative way to get involved through the IWD Photo Competition. A perfect way to capture the essence and strength of women in their diverse roles and cultures.
However you decide to celebrate this special day - we wish you a wonderful International Womens Day.
Lets get the balance right!
