What you need to know:

  • Only one woman manages all relationships well.
  • Women have helped men to develop a society in every field but many have also been a source of inspiration.

March 8 is International Women’s Day (IWD), when the world celebrates women indiscriminately. The day’s theme is #ChooseToChallenge. A challenging world is an alert world. From challenge comes change. How can we forge a gender-equal world? Celebrate women’s feats. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality.

Only one woman manages all relationships well. Women also make a valuable contribution to society in every field. Today’s events give women their due rights and dignity as they play various roles — including wives, daughters, sisters, daughters-in-law, mothers and more.
