International Women’s Day (IWD) group is a non-profit organisation working to celebrate and support the diversity and achievements of women. This is done through the arts, workshops, talks, networking, debate, participating projects and organisations. IWD has been celebrated on 8th March since 1908 and is now recognised in more than 80 countries. It offers an opportunity for change taking into account the social, cultural, economic and political issues that concern women today.
