International Women’s Day takes place on 8 March each year, celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, while encouraging action towards gender equality.
Schools and educators can use International Women’s Day as an opportunity to celebrate women’s achievements, challenge stereotypes and encourage young people to think about equality in education, careers and the wider world.
The International Women’s Day website provides free resources and planning materials to support activities and events. These can help educators bring International Women’s Day into the classroom and create meaningful conversations with students.
