A state level function is being organized on 8th March, at Ferozepur to celebrate International Women's Day (IWD). Gurinder Singh, Zonal Incharge at Ferozepur informed that if every International Women's Day event held in 2012 includes girls in some way, then thousands of minds will be inspired globally.
He also informed that "Connecting Girls, Inspiring Futures" is the 2012 theme of the International Women’s day.com website and this has been widely used by hundreds of organisations including schools, universities, governments, women’s groups and the private sector.
