On March 8th, individuals around the world – of all genders – will come together to celebrate International Women’s Day. Since the first gathering, held over a century ago, leaders have made great progress in driving gender equality. But, we still have work to do to continue advocating for women’s advancement around the world.

Last year, the milestone coincided with a centenary of female emancipation and underscored that we still have a long way to go in achieving true equality.
