The International Women's Day is being celebrated in the country and elsewhere across the world on Saturday with due fervour.
The theme for this year's International Women’s Day is “Accelerate Action”. This campaign theme emphasises the urgent need to take decisive steps toward achieving gender equality, addressing the slow pace of progress, and empowering women and girls worldwide.
On the eve of the day, Chief Adviser issued messages, greeting all women across the world, reports UNB.
Bangladesh Television, Bangladesh Betar and all private television channels have lined up special programmes for the day.
International Women’s Day is observed every year on March 8 to celebrate women’s movement and struggle for equality, in the face of deeply entrenched patriarchy.
Marking this day, different organisations have chalked out elaborate programmes.
