"It is a commemoration of Mandela's life, recognising his unyielding struggle against apartheid, and his endeavours towards establishing a multiracial democracy in South Africa. It is also a global call to action, inviting each one of us to step into Mandela's shoes for a day and carry forward his invaluable legacy."
This day is observed globally every year on 8 March to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. Also, it is an action for accelerating gender parity. Purple is the colour that symbolizes women internationally. The combination of the purple, green and white colour is to symbolize the equality of women which is originated from the Women's Social and Political Union in the UK in 1908. Do you know that purple signifies justice and dignity, green symbolises hope and white purity?
