International Women’s Day held on every year on 8th March, it is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The tag also marks a call to accelerate gender parity.

International Women’s Day (IWD) has been observed since the early 1900s. A period of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world, which has seen booming population growth and the emergence of radical ideologies.

International Women’s Day is a common day of global celebration and a call for gender parity.

This year, International Women’s Day will be accompanied by an unprecedented global movement for women’s rights, equality, and justice.

Sexual harassment, violence, and discrimination against women are featured on the front pages of newspapers and have sparked a public debate driven by a growing commitment to change.

2018 International Women’s Day is an opportunity to put that momentum into action, to empower women in all sectors.

The world has fundamentally changed in women’s and society’s image of women’s equality and empowerment. Many younger generations may think that “all battles were won for women,”. Many feminists in the 1970s are too familiar with the longevity and deep-rooted complexity of patriarchy.

With more women in the boardroom, greater equality of legal rights and greater visibility of women as impressive role models in all walks of life, one might think that women have achieved true equality. But as a woman, we need lots of changes in society.

Some Key Targets of the International Women’s Day Agenda:

• Stop all forms of discrimination against all women and girls around the world.
• Eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking, sexual and other exploitation.
• Eliminate all harmful practices such as early and forced child marriage and female genital mutilation.

World Kidney Day 2018 is celebrated on this very day too.
