  • Celebrate International Women’s Day – Equality for Women Is Progress for All!

    Amnesty International USA - Human Rights Now Blog

    Saturday, March 8 is International Women’s Day – a day marking global recognition of women’s rights. International Women’s Day (IWD) was first celebrated in 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland as a day of demanding women’s rights to work, hold office, and vote. It wasn’t until 1975 that it was given official U.N. recognition. Every year, the U.N. designates a theme for the day. For 2014, the year’s theme is: Equality for Women is Progress for All. #IWD2014 #Nepal #ICPD #SRRH #MyBodyMyRights #IVAWA
