Since 1908, International Women’s Day has been a day to celebrate the achievements of women around the world. To honor the day, Women for Women International offices around the world hold events ranging from quiet and reflective meetings to loud and festive celebrations. In Baghdad, women have rallied at the capital for equal treatment. In Afghanistan you'll find women praying, holding poetry readings and demonstrating martial arts to show empowerment. In the DR Congo women hold parades and protests against unpunished sexual assault. In Kosovo the women are treated to flowers and free food. And here in the US, people across the country are hosting a variety of events in honor of International Womens Day. This year, the organization is reaching out to you to host your own event. We at DS want to show the world that young women can come up with innovative ideas to celebrate this historical day. Share your ideas!
