Established in 1911, International Women’s Day is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. It is a day in which women from around the world unite in thoughts, prayers, struggles, hopes and dreams. Women’s accomplishments in education, business, science, art, medicine, public service, athletics, and every other field have made our world better and stronger. While we recognize the advancement of women around the world, the sad truth is that the world is still at least 100 years away from global gender equality.
