What is International Women's Day?

International Women’s Day is an annual day of observance celebrated in countries across the globe, officially recognised by the United Nations in 1977. Read more here.

Gippsland Women’s Health is encouraging all partners across Gippsland to get involved this International Women’s Day (IWD) – March 8. This year the United Nation’s theme is ‘March Forward: It’s time to turn promises into progress’. IWD is a great opportunity to recognise women for their achievements and contributions as well as showcasing the amazing work that is happening in your community or workplace to advance gender equity.
