Dear Media Colleagues,
8 March 2011 is being celebrated in many parts of the world as the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political.
It is also the first International Women's Day for UN Women, created by the UN General Assembly on 2 July 2010.
The official theme of International Women's Day 2011 is "Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women".
In 1975, during International Women's Year, the United Nations began celebrating International Women's Day on 8 March. Two years later, in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and national traditions.
We attached herewith the message of the United Nations Seretary-General and listed below the web links of the information material /documents on the International Women Day for your kind information and placement.
