Violence against women has been in the international spotlight for the last year amid greater publicity of cases of women being raped and murdered. Many events and rallies have been held calling for the end of violence against women. International Women’s Day (IWD) was the original day demanding equality for women. The first IWD was held in 1909.
In 2013, workers in many countries right around the world marked International Women’s Day. Some of them include: Greece, Korea, Morocco, Nepal, Palestine, Pakistan, the Philippines and Spain.
The international labour federations put out statements and reported news from International Women’s Day events from around the world. See: BWI, EI, IFJ, IMA, Industriall, ITF, IUF, PSI and UNI.
