Today, March 8th is International Women’s Day!

Brockville – This year’s campaign theme for International Women’s Day is Inspire Inclusion.

With well over a century of history and change, the first International Women’s Day (IWD) was held in March 1911. IWD isn’t country, group or organization-specific. It’s a day of collective global activism and celebration that belongs to all those committed to forging women’s equality.

World-renowned feminist, journalist and activist, Gloria Steinem, reportedly once explained:

“The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.”

So together, let’s all help fight the good fight. All IWD activity is valid, that’s what makes IWD so inclusive. Join in and make IWD your day by doing what you can to support and advance women.
