Every year, on March 8th, countries across the globe celebrate International Women’s Day, commemorating women’s fight for equality and liberation. Over the decades, this day has served as a powerful reminder of women’s strength, resilience, and invaluable contributions to society. It is a call for a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination, fostering true gender equality.
