As it says on the International Women’s Day website, this is the universal day that connects all women around the world and inspires them to achieve their full potential. IWD 2006 launches another year of working progressively for women’s equality worldwide. It is an important day around the world because the collective power of women is witnessed by milions, and the brave achievements of women past, present and future are respectfully honoured. International Women’s Day 2006 will be celebrated globally on Wednesday 8 March. Join the action !!

On the website there’s a multitude of events around the world to spread the world. You’ll even find an appropriate and charming exhibition at the McCord Museum of Canadian History here in Montreal. Its title is Picturing Her – Images of Girlhood. It continues until March 26, 2006.
