Over 400 official events and activities are taking place around the
world in celebration of International Women's Day – an annual event
which has been observed since the early 1900s.
The theme of this year's event is: 'connecting girls, inspiring futures'.
Prime Minister David Cameron is using International Women's Day to
call for the elimination of violence and harassment against females.
He is due to sign a new European convention Cameron later today which
could lead to wolf whistling, street harassment and sexist remarks
against women being made illegal.
US President Barack Obama and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as
well as countless celebrities, have also leant their support to
International Women's Day.
