who run the world?
girls.
If every International Women's Day
event held in 2012 includes girls in some way, then thousands of
minds will be inspired globally.
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 and
women's groups around the world choose different themes each year
that reflect global and local gender issues.
"Connecting Girls, Inspiring Futures" is the
2012 theme of the internationalwomensday.com website and this has
been widely used by hundreds of organisations including schools,
universities, governments, women’s groups and the private sector.
Each year the United Nations declares an overall International
Women's Day theme. Their 2012 theme is “Empower Rural Women – End
Hunger and Poverty”. Many organisations develop their own themes
that are more relevant to their local contexts. For example, the
European Parliament's 2012 theme is "Equal pay for work of equal
value".
