Every year, 8 March is celebrated around the world as International Women's Day. We have planned a program of information and fun for your classroom to celebrate International Women's Day with a focus on women, peace and politics.

International Women's Day has been observed since in the early 1900's, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies. The United Nations General Assembly, composed of delegates from every Member State, celebrates International Women's Day to recognize that peace and social progress require the active participation and equality of women, and to acknowledge the contribution of women to international peace and security.
