If you’ve spent any time on social media in the past 12 hours, you’re probably aware that it’s International Women’s Day – but you might not be aware of what that means.
As its name suggests IWD is a day to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of the global female community.
This year, the International Women’s Day is of added importance, as tens of thousands of women are participating in the Day Without a Woman – a general strike prompted by the dangerously misogynistic remarks and policies of Donald Trump and his administration.
So whether you’re striking or taking to social media to express solidarity, take a moment to see what some of the most outspoken celebs have to say about this momentous day:
