This year, United Nations’ theme is “Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women.” Thousands of events worldwide are held to inspire women.

Amazing women celebrities, athletes, political leaders, and experts will speak about women’s issues today and how we can “Enlighten Women’s Minds and Empower Women’s Hearts … for a Better World.”

International Women's Day: Celebrate Womanhood


"A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform." ~ Diane Mariechild

March 8 is a global celebration of International Women's Day. This year 2010, IWD marks its 99th Anniversary. It's a day that celebrates the achievement of women around the world - from the political, economic, cultural and social areas. This day also serves as a reminder of the equality struggle that women faces.

This year's global theme is "Equal rights, equal opportunities: Progress for all." However, groups and organizations may opt to use a different theme. Various events world wide are also held to continuously inspire and celebrate women's achievement.

In the Philippines, International Women's Day is anchored on the theme "Babae, Tagumpay Ka ng Bayan!". A theme that highlight's women's paving the way for women’s advancement and empowerment amidst major challenges.

For me, the most significant role that a women played in their lives is always felt at home - as a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a grandmothers, a cousin, a friend.
