International Women’s day to boost the leadership capability of a woman
March 8 of every year is an international women’s day (IWD), in some countries it brings celebrations, but in some others it’s the opposite. This year’s celebration will be marked with live events from the United Nations and other international organs, but also countries are celebrating it in their way.
According to Wikipedia, the international women’s day is the annual event to celebrate the achievements, challenges and struggles of women around the world; this year’s theme is titled “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a Covid-19 world”.
This year’s theme is based on the challenges brought about by the pandemic. The IWD is a global day of celebration for the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, also an opportunity to reflect on and further the push towards gender parity.
What to expect from International Women’s Day 2021
