Women across the world will call for equal pay, reproductive rights, education, justice and decision-making jobs during demonstrations marking International Women’s Day. Officially recognized by the United Nations in 1977, International Women’s Day is commemorated in different ways and to varying degrees in places around the world. This years' theme is “Give to Gain.” It comes at a moment where many activists worry that the current political environment may result in a backsliding on many of the rights they’ve long fought for.
