International Women's Day (8 March) is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women's Day is a national holiday.
It is important and relevant because in many parts of the World women still do not have Equality, are not safe and face discrimination and injustice, which is quite simply NOT ACCEPTABLE!
