International Women's Day has been observed since in the early 1900's, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies. Annually on 8 March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements.
Women's equality has made positive gains but the world
is still unequal. International Women's Day celebrates the social, political
and economic achievements of women while focusing world attention on areas
requiring further action.

and have little opportunity for advancement without help.
