This year International Women’s Day (IWD) is on March 8, 2016 and the theme is Pledge For Parity.  See their website for more information. ‘The World Economic Forum estimates that a slowdown in the already glacial pace of progress means that it will take until 2133 for the world to entirely close the economic gender gap. On International Women’s Day each of us can commit to take action and together help accelerate the achievement of gender parity worldwide’
