International Women's Day 2011 Theme

International Women's Day 2011 Theme






Each year around the world, International Women's
Day (IWD) is celebrated
on March 8. Hundreds of events occur not just on this day but
throughout March to mark the
economic, political and social achievements of women.


Organisations, governments and women's groups
around the world choose different
themes each year that reflect global and local gender issues.


THEME: So while many
people may think there is one global theme each year, this is
not always correct. It is completely up to each country and group as
to what appropriate theme
they select.


Below are some of the global United Nation themes
used for International Women's Day to date:


- 2011: Equal access to education, training and science and
technology: Pathway to decent work for women
