Each year around the world, International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. Thousands of events occur not just on this day but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. Organisations, governments, charities, educational institutions, women's groups, corporations and the media celebrate the day. Many groups around the world choose different themes each year relevant to global and local gender issues.

International Women's Day has been observed since the early 1900's and is annually held on March 8 to celebrate women's achievements throughout history and across nations. In 1977, the United Nations (UN) proclaimed it a "Day for Women's Rights and International Peace".

The 2013 theme is: 'The Gender Agenda: Gaining Momentum'. Over time and distance, the equal rights of women have progressed. The achievements of women are being celebrated while remaining vigilant and tenacious for further sustainable change. There is global momentum for championing women's equality.

In recent times much progress has been made to protect and promote women's rights. According to the United Nations, the majority of the world's 1.3 billion absolute poor are women. On average, women receive between 30 and 40% less pay than men earn for the same work. Women continue to be victims of violence, with rape and domestic violence listed as significant causes of disability and death among women worldwide.
