When the first International Women's Day took place over one hundred years ago, millions of women rallied together to call for their right to work, vote and to end discrimination.
Since then, campaigners for women's rights have taken huge strides in closing the gender-gap, and giving women across the globe access to the opportunities they deserve.
This year, organisers have declared the theme of International Women's Day to be Embrace Equality - as they call on people to challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias and seek out inclusion.
