Right to shine. International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day! We celebrate IWD with London's famous Tate Modern art gallery, lit up in purple. Why purple? The colour associated with IWD symbolises dignity, justice and dedication to the matter. This event celebrates women's achievements in politics, culture and society. Every year on March 8, educational and cultural activities, demonstrations, campaigns and discussions highlight the importance of gender equality and women's rights.

The first Women's Day was initiated by Theresa Malkiel, a labour activist, and the first manifestation was observed in New York on February 28, 1909, organised by the Socialist Party of America. The first international day was celebrated in 1911, although the date was not fixed as 8 March until 1917. It would be another 60 years before it was officially recognised by the UN, in 1977.
