ARCHIVED - March 8 International Womens Day 2023: Timetable of demonstrations and marches throughout Spain
A series of organised events will take place across Spain celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women
International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated every year on March 8, a day in which, for the last century, the achievements of women are recognised and celebrated around the world.
IWD also marks a call for a gender-equal world that is free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination and is diverse and inclusive while differences are valued and celebrated.
This year's theme is 'Embrace Equality' or #EmbraceEquity. The International Women's Day website says, "Equity isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have. A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society's DNA. And it's critical to understand the difference between Equity and Equality. The aim of the IWD 2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign theme is to get the world talking about 'Why equal opportunities aren't enough'."
