Vanguard News A day to celebrate our women On Kindly Share This Story: SINCE the United Nations earmarked March 8, every year, as International Women’s Day in 1977, the idea has come a long way since its first observance on March 19, 1911, by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. The day is now globally observed to reflect on progress made, to call for change and celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played extraordinary roles in the history of their countries and communities. This year’s call to action is: #ChoosetoChallenge! It is unfortunate that this year’s celebration meets us in dire straits in Nigeria. We have seen gains in the area of girl-child education, both in terms of quality and scale in the last decade eroded by the security situation in the country, especially in the North.
