In many countries, International Women's Day is an occasion to honor and praise women for their accomplishments. Some countries even a holiday! In 2012,many organisations are inviting people to celebrate inspirational women or honoring a woman whose efforts make a difference. Many others holding charity events today.
This year the ICRC that helps co-ordinate the search for missing in connection with conflict, is calling for more action to help the mothers and wives of people who have gone missing during armed conflict.
What a fantastic day, girls & boys!
