Abstract

There are a few ‘international days’ which I hold dear. But I am passionate about International Women’s Day (8th March)[1] alongside its end-of-year cousin, the UN Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls (25th November) and its associated 16 Days of Action. It’s not just because I am a woman. IWD is much more meaningful than that (as I hope to convince you of) which connects me (and you) to a history and a globality of activism to change the world.
