This International Womenâs Day we must all choose to challenge the patriarchal system

International Womenâs Day was born out of the struggles of working women for equal pay, for equal work, and for full social, economic and political rights. It was first celebrated in 1911, a centenary ago, and the issues women struggled for â equal work for equal pay, the need to recognise womenâs rights as human rights â are as relevant today as then.
The celebrations of International Womenâs Day each year acknowledge achievements made and the challenges still remaining towards a truly inclusive, equal and non-sexist society and world.
