Cal Poly honors International Women’s Day by celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women with various events during the month of March.  International Women’s Day has occurred for well over a century, with the first gathering in 1911 involving over a million people campaigning for women’s rights to work, vote, hold public office and for an end to discrimination. Today, International Women’s Day sees several missions to help forge a gender equitable world, celebrate women’s achievements, and increase their visibility, while calling attention to inequality and inequity.
