International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated annually on March 8. This day has been celebrated for over a century, the first IWD gathering happening in 1911.
International Women's Day is a global day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action for raising awareness and promoting gender equality. This day is free of any country, group or organization - and belongs to all groups collectively everywhere.
I want to celebrate this day by sharing with 10 Female Empowerment Songs performed by female artists.
These songs are all about strong, independent and powerful women who get back up even after being knocked down and who break the renowned stereotypes about women.

As Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist and activist once explained: "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights."
A balanced world is a better world. A gender-balanced world is only possible if we celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness against bias and take action for equality.
So let's celebrate International Women's Day by truly making a positive difference for women.
