International Women’s Day

Celebrate women leaders on the frontlines of the COVID-19 response and beyond

Statement by UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem on International Women’s Day, 8 March 2021

They head international and grassroots organizations, faith-based groups and sports teams, labour and environmental movements, often while caring for their families and communities.
