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.

Yawm al-Mar'a

The day is observed with events organized by the Qatar Foundation, and the focus is on the role of women in the Qatari economy. Qatar has made significant progress in women's rights: the first female minister was appointed in 2008, women make up over 70% of university graduates, and Sheikha Moza bint Nasser has been a transformative figure in education reform. Events at the Qatar National Library and Education City highlight women in STEM, art, and entrepreneurship.
