Celebrations and awareness as International Women's Day trends
March 8 marks International Women's Day, when the world celebrates the successes and triumphs of women, and highlights gender inequality and abuse.
This year's theme is #BalanceForBetter, which encourages the need for a gender-balanced society. As part of the campaign, social media users are urged to post a picture of themselves with their hands in a balance pose under #IWD2019.

When the world was created, you were created to beautify it and you have certainly done a great job because the world is smiling for you today.
