International Women's Day 2010: IWD Themes

International Women's Day is celebrated around the world in a variety of different ways, with each country that marks IWD 2010, usually picking its own theme. Governments. organizations and non-profits often pick a Women's Day theme to reflect their particular local gender issues.

Some years have seen global IWD themes honoured around the world, while in other years groups have preferred to 'localise' their own themes to make them more specific and relevant.

THEME: So while many people may think there is one global theme each year, this is not always correct. It is completely up to each country and group as to what appropriate theme they select.

Below are some of the global United Nation themes used for International Women's Day to date:

- 2010: Equal rights, equal opportunities: Progress for all
- 2009: Women and men united to end violence against women and girls
- 2008: Investing in Women and Girls
