International Women’s Day (IWD) is on March 8, 2011, and as traditions go, we are yet again having a march in Toronto on Saturday March 12, 2011.
International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women’s Day is a national holiday. You can read about the history of International Women’s day since 1908 here.
