Every year on March 8, women around the world come together to celebrate International Women's Day (IWD)-a global observance honouring the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
Far beyond a day of female showmanship, IWD serves as a call to action for accelerating gender parity worldwide.
It challenges norms and stereotypes that have historically relegated women to the background in societal and national discourse.
This year's IWD, under the theme: 'For All Women and Girls: Rights, Equality, Empowerment,' underscores the interconnectedness of these three principles in advancing gender equality and women's empowerment globally.
