International Women's Day

International Women’s Day is annually held on March 8 to celebrate women’s achievements throughout history and across nations. It is also known as the United Nations (UN) Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace. The International Women’s Day logo is in purple and white and features the symbol of Venus, which is also the symbol of being female . There are many campaigns for women's rights ; for example HeForShe , that is a campaign for gender equality . The premise of the campaign is men speaking out against the violence and discrimination faced by women. As Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon states, “Violence against women is a global problem. It harms women, families, communities, and societies. We can only stop it by working together. Women and men.” Emma Watson  marked International Women's Day with a question-and-answer session about her HeForShe campaign , and she said that Women just want to be included and that Feminism is equality : politically , culturally , socially ,and economically . She said : "The human race is like a bird and it needs both wings to be able to fly. And, at the moment, one of is wings is clipped an we're never going to be able to fly as high." This is too important because men and women have to work together .
