International Women's Day

International Women’s Day is marked today (8 Mar) every year. It is a major day of global celebration of women. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women’s economic, political and social achievements.

The theme of women's Day in Pakistan this year, is “equal rights, equal opportunities; progress of all” on this International Women’s Day, as we prepare for the vital challenges before, let us all be mindful that the achievement of women’s rights is not the responsibility of women alone, it is the responsibility of us all. Let us step up our efforts to create an environment where progress towards gender equality is not a daily struggle, but a natural part of all our actions.
