\"\"<\/a>International Women’s Day<\/a> was marked around the world on 8th March with events celebrating the achievements of women and calling for greater equality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The day has been recognised by the United Nations since 1975 although, in some European countries, it was first marked in 1911.<\/span><\/p>\n
