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.

Umugongo w'Umugore

This hits different in Rwanda, which has the highest percentage of women in parliament anywhere in the world : 61%. The day is not just celebration; it is a flex. Women who survived the genocide rebuilt this country literally and legislatively. The marches in Kigali are joyful and loud, and the speeches remind everyone that Rwandan women did not wait for permission to lead.
