Not only is March Women's History Month, it is also the month of International Women's Day, Equal Pay Day, and Gender Equality Month! Read on to learn more:
Equal Pay Day
(3/15/23)
"Equal Pay Day was originated by the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) in 1996 as a public awareness event to illustrate the gap between men's and women's wages. It was originally called “National Pay Inequity Awareness Day” and changed to Equal Pay Day in 1998."

Gender Equality Month
"Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.
There has been progress over the last decades: More girls are going to school, fewer girls are forced into early marriage, more women are serving in parliament and positions of leadership, and laws are being reformed to advance gender equality.
Despite these gains, many challenges remain: discriminatory laws and social norms remain pervasive, women continue to be underrepresented at all levels of political leadership, and 1 in 5 women and girls between the ages of 15 and 49 report experiencing physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner within a 12-month period."

Gender Equality, Why it Matters.pdfInternational Women's Day
03/8/23
"International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality."
The first IWD gathering happened in 1911 and was supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere and is not country, group or organization specific.

This year's International Women's Day theme is #EmbraceEquality.
"Imagine a gender equal world.
A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.
A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
A world where difference is valued and celebrated.
Together we can forge women's equality.
Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquality."
