Soroptimists #ChooseToChallenge

Members from Midland Arden Region celebrated International Women’s Day 2021 at their Regional Meeting.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme, Choose To Challenge, calls for women worldwide to challenge the status quo and stand up for an equitable world.

It was 100 years ago when Clara Zetkin established International Women’s Day on March 8th (voted in 1910 by the women’s movement). During the 1975 International Year of Women, the U.N. celebrated International Women’s Day (IWD), and in 1977 designated March 8th as the official day for Women’s Rights and International Peace.
