International Women’s Day is 08th March 2008, and there is no better place to celebrate it then London, England – the most global capital in the world. Read about planned events for this most electric day for women world-wide. And every now and again I will post human rights issues near and dear to my heart.

Hi there, I have just found your blog. I was surprised how little publicity there was in the mass media in the UK for IWD.
Along with another UK woman,and my daughter who lives in Brooklyn, NY, I have just started a blog - Towards 2011 - 100 years of International Women's Day, in order to publicise the event a little more, and also to examine news items, research, and trivia about women's issues.
