International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.
The English Chess Federation and the ECF’s Director of Women’s Chess, Agnieszka Milewska, would like to wish all the women and girls in England and across the world a happy and prosperous International Women’s Day, and success in all their endeavours both on and off the board.
