International Womens Day 2009

A global womans day was celebrated on 8th March 2009. Around 963 events were held across the 62 countries. It was a celebration of economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. International women's day is being celebrated since early 1900's.

The United States even designates the whole month of March as 'Women's History Month'. Do you know New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women the right to vote. It should be noted that the first international women's day was launched 19 March and not 8 March. Every year an effort is made to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding. Its really great time to honor the great woman who have been making everyone's day more merrier.
