Million Women Rise London 2010

Since its inception, The Feminist Peace Network has encouraged women around the world to participate in International Women’s Day.

Please visit  this page for more on how IWD  has been celebrated throughout the world in past years, with current year updates beginning in February.

Here are some websites with more information about International Women’s Day:

  • Wikipedia
  • The United Nations
  • ISIS/IWD Australia
  • Million Women Rise
  • UNIFEM
  • Teaching IWD
  • ESL Lesson Plans for IWD
  • Words of Women
  • A Salute To Women’s Resistance

    • And a site that FPN is boycotting:

    InternationalWomensDay.com is run by Aurora and Thomson Reuters and while they have heeded our call not to refer to themselves as the official IWD website, they still refer to themselves as “The” International Women’s Day website which simply isn’t true, there is no such thing.  Further, a considerable portion of the website is designed to direct traffic to completely unrelated Reuters stories.  This is wholly unacceptable and an insult to women everywhere.  You can read more on our campaign to get Thomson Reuters to cease and desist here.
