Today is International Women's Day and the theme is #BeBoldForChange.

The event is celebrated annually on March 8 to commemorate the women's rights movement and this year the organizers are asking women everywhere to “call on the masses or call on yourself to help forge a better working world – a more gender inclusive world.”
