International Women Day 2011

This year the theme for International Women's Day 2011 is Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women.

In some cases International Women's Day has led to questionable practices that discriminated against men. For example Tower Hamlets Council closed off one of its libraries to all males to "celebrate" the occasion, forcing them to travel elsewhere, going as far as even banning male staff from the premises
