International Women’s Day is celebrated annually on March 8 in recognition of the social, economic, political and cultural achievements of women globally, serving as a call to action for improving gender equity. You can learn more about IWD by visiting their official website.

Elsevier’s Global Content Partners Group along with its STMJ Journals group support the IWD mission, working alongside its authors and editor to provide uniquely-tailored content covering topics including gender bias and discrimination, women’s health and well-being, and women’s empowerment.
