Every year on March 8th, people around the world celebrate the social, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality.

A Swedish schoolgirl by the name of Greta Thunberg led a global movement. The Vagina Museum opened and tampons became free in state schools in England. The judges of the Booker Prize couldn't just pick one amazing woman to give the prize to, so they picked two. The UN appointed amazing new 'changemakers' such as Munroe Bergdorf.
