March 8th 2011 marks the centenary of the very first International Women’s Day which was inaugurated on 19th March 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. On that day, more than one million women and men attended IWD rallies campaigning for women’s rights to work, vote, be trained, to hold public office and end discrimination.
On the eve of World War I, Russian women observed their first International Women’s Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. That year it was agreed to transfer the day to 8th March and this day has remained the global date for International Women’s Day ever since.
The UN theme for International Women’s Day 2011 is: “Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women.”
Women around the world celebrate the day in a range of ways from decorating boots, taking free flights and taking part in mass rallies, to highlight discrimination against women. Here are some highlights from the events taking place around the world for International Women’s Day 2011 – feel free to add yours in the comments box below:
