International Women's Day (IWD) is an annual global celebration that falls on 8 March. This day is dedicated to celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and to raise awareness about gender equality and women's rights.

International Women's Day provides a platform to raise awareness about the unique challenges women face and to promote gender equality. It is a day to celebrate the accomplishments of women across the globe and to recognize the incredible work they do every day to create a better world for themselves and future generations.
