三八妇女节
Over time and distance, the equal rights of women have
progressed. We celebrate the achievements of women while remaining
vigilant and tenacious for further sustainable change. There is
global momentum for championing women's equality.
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.
"The Gender Agenda: Gaining Momentum" is the 2013
theme of our internationalwomensday.com website. Last year our 2012
theme was Connecting Girls, Inspiring
Futures which supported the United Nation's (UN)
first International
Day of the Girl celebrated on 11 October 2012. The UN
declares an International Women's Day theme and for 2013 it is “A
promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against
women”. In 2012 it was "Empower Rural Women – End Hunger and
Poverty". Many organisations develop International Women's Day
themes relevant to their local contexts. For example, the European
Parliament's 2012 theme was "Equal pay for work of equal
value".
