This year marks the 125th anniversary (1911-2026) of International Women&#8217;s Day celebrating women&#8217;s achievements worldwide, raising awareness of discrimination and taking action to establish gender parity. Gloria Steinem, the world-renowned journalist and activist reportedly once said, <strong>&#8220;The story of women&#8217;s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organisation but to the collective efforts of all those who care about human rights.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1773090122855-e88ed48b-54c6-2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1773090134806-9c2dfcb4-dce1-8&#8243; include=&#8221;7340,7341,7343&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row] INTERNATIONAL WOMEN&#8217;S DAY 8.3.26 In the days before Sunday 8th March,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":7341,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Celebrating International Women&#039;s Day 2026 | SI Aberdeen Celebrating International Women&#039;s Day 2026 | News | Blog | Events | SI Aberdeen<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Aberdeen : Blog &amp; News : Celebrating International Women&#039;s Day 2026 : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Aberdeen .
