International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the cultural, economic, political and social achievements of women. This year’s theme is #ChooseToChallenge
This International Women’s Day (IWD), we invite you to participate in our online live global celebration on Monday 8th March 2021 from 8:00pm – 9:00pm.
