Each year around the world, International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. Thousands of events occur not just on this day but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women.
Organizations, governments, charities and women's groups around the world choose different themes each year that reflect global and local gender issues.
"Connecting Girls, Inspiring Future" is the 2012 theme of the internationalwomensday.com website.
Each year the United Nations declares an overall International Women's Day theme. Their 2012 theme is “Empower Rural Women – End Hunger and Poverty”.
Many organizations develop their own themes that are more relevant to their local contexts. For example, the European Parliament's 2012 theme is "Equal pay for work of equal value".
We have watched a funny slideshow about the innovations introduced by women – like coffee filters, water heater, chocolate chip cookies, windshield wipers, Kevlar, etc.
We have watched and discussed the Reuters slideshow about women from other countries.
The slideshow “Women’s World of America” allowed as to make a retrospective of most prominent women in the USA history.
The final activity today was the introduction of the new club members.
The number of visitors – 16 persons.
