March 8 is almost here and it means one thing — International Women’s Day (IWD) is just around the corner! The goal is to celebrate the cultural, economic, and socio-political achievements of women while also raising awareness for significant improvements towards gender equality.
IWD has been celebrated since the early 1900s. Although we’ve made great progress since then, gender inequality still persists worldwide, particularly in developing countries.
