The International Women's Day is marked on March 8 of each year. 

The day recognizes the achievements made by women and brings awareness to the obstacles that still stand in their way.

This year's theme is "#Eachfor Equal", according to the International Women's Day official website. 

"Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day."

Women can actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate their achievements.

Happy Women's Day to every woman in the world.
