#ChooseToChallenge is the theme for International Women's Day 2021.
The message organizers the world over want to put out is "a challenged world is an alert world," the International Women's Day (IWD) website says.
Whilst the celebration of IWD around the world takes place once a year, Ileen Dickenson says her challenge every day is to put food on the table each day.
Ileen Dickson is 44 years old, a mother of three children she continues to provide for her family by various types of shell money necklaces and bracelets at the Auki market.
