Today is International Women’s Day which is:

The universal day that connects all women around the world and inspires them to achieve their full potential. IWD 2006 launches another year of working progressively for women’s equality worldwide.

It is an important day around the world because the collective power of women is witnessed by milions, and the brave achievements of women past, present and future are respectfully honoured

Isn't it ironic that I found out about this day from one of my international male blogger friends! Thanks Scouser!
