International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8 every year throughout the world to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women.  But unfortunately women’s progress has slowed in many places across the world, so urgent action is needed to accelerate gender parity. The 2016 theme for International Women’s Day is “Planet 50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality”. Let’s work together hand in hand to fulfill this dream.
