Taking place on Sunday 8th March International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
For those who don't know, it all started back in 1910 when a second International Conference of Working Women was held in Copenhagen. A woman named Clara Zetkin tabled the idea of an International Women's Day. She proposed that every year in every country there should be a celebration on the same day, a Women's Day aimed to press for their demands.
Since then, the celebration has grown. It now connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events. Below are some of inspiring events happening in the North West to celebrate International Women’s Day 2020.
