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.
The day is observed with events organized by the Ministry of Gender Equality, and the demands include equal pay, an end to domestic violence, and the recognition of women's contributions to the economy. Mauritius has one of the highest rates of female employment in Africa (54%), and the day is both celebration and demand. Women's cooperatives across the island showcase their products, and the sega performances highlight the role of women in preserving Creole culture.
You encounter Adelie penguins, leopard seals, and Weddell seals throughout the Antarctic continent. You find that research station inhabitants keep sled dogs, cats, and occasionally rabbits as companions. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
