International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8th to recognize women's achievements and advance women's rights. The theme for 2015 is "Make It Happen," encouraging effective action to advance women. However, many facts highlight ongoing challenges for women, such as being the majority of the world's poor, receiving lower pay than men for the same work, and being frequently victims of violence. The document advocates coming together to support each other's goals and dreams in order to empower women across nations and promote their rights.
