International Women’s Day is a Day to celebrate women all around the world. As a focal point of Women’s History Month, it’s a daylong opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women around the world.
Around the world, there will be many events help to honor and recognize the value of women globally, highlight their contributions to their families, relationships, communities, and organizations.
When I lived in Shanghai, most global corporations gave their female employees a few hours off to use as they saw fit to celebrate “Women Who Hold Up Half The Sky”
