INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY: MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Today, we are celebrating the International Women's Day. Each year International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. The first International Women's Day was held in 1911. Thousands of events occur to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. Organisations, governmeynts, charities, educational institutions, women's groups, corporations and the media celebrate the day. All around the world, International Women's Day represents an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while calling for greater equality.
Every year there is a them to mark this day. International Women's Day 2015 Theme: MAKE IT HAPPEN
Make It Happen is the 2015 theme for our internationalwomensday.com global hub, encouraging effective action for advancing and recognising women.
You may have noticed that the colour of our blog has changed to purple. The reason is that purple is the colour chosen to mark the IWD. It represents justice and dignity - two values strongly associated with women's equality.

To join the celebrations, Noelia and Raquel have recorded a podcast on IWD. We hope you like it and understand the importance of this day.
