World Calendar Day

Dia de la Mujer

National holiday since 2024. The marches through Santiago are among the largest in Latin America, filling the Alameda from La Moneda to Baquedano with green scarves and fierce conviction. Chilean feminism has its own voice and it does not ask permission.

Women's Day

A socialist legacy, celebrated with events honoring Lao women's contributions to society. The day is also a reminder that Lao women are among the most economically active in Southeast Asia: they run 70% of small businesses, they manage the household finances, and they are the backbone of the informal economy. The Lao saying is "women hold the purse," and it is not a metaphor.

Animals of Lesotho Day

You see elands, baboons, and bearded vultures across Lesotho's high mountain plateaus and grasslands. You typically keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as household pets in Lesotho. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
