If you’re in London, stop by the week-long Women of the World Festival, which runs March 8–13. The mix of paid and free events include debates, talks, readings, performances and more, addressing topics such as equality in the workplace, body image, sex, childcare, race and more.
The New York City branch of Oxfam America is hosting their annual Oxfam Jam, featuring feminist musicians at a March 7 event that starts late enough for you to stop by after work. The event is being hosted at Brooklyn’s The Knitting Factory and proceeds go to fight poverty and social injustice.
Sydney has an impressive lineup of celebrations for the day. In addition to multiple talks and celebrations the day of, there’s the annual Sydney International Women’s Day March the weekend after, combating violence against women.
