8th March, every year is marked as a very special day. A day of empowerment and equality. A day when every woman feels proud to be born, the way she was, to be brought up, the way she was; and especially proud of the struggles she faced to get to where she is now.
We celebrate International Women’s Day today to salute our sheroes who have been fighting their own struggles since they were little and have been winning each one of them. Let us respect them, stand with them, and empower them.
Women are being celebrated today, by the entire world including some of the most prominent figures from India. In accordance with this year’s theme “#ChooseToChallenge, several VIPs of the nation have garnered the strong and beautiful women of the country with praises and best wishes.
