International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8 every year, acknowledges the economic, political, and social achievements of women. Civic organizations, governments, and women’s groups choose themes and organize events around the world. Jkuat, a public university in Kenya, organizes a women’s only sports event. The Calgary public library (Canada) hosts a lunch and a speakers’ panel, and Harmony in Paradise Inc arranges a gala variety concert in Australia. To find an event in your country, visit the website.
