International Women's Day
2015 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 international women’s day.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.
