On March 8, activists around the globe celebrate International Women's Day, which dates back to the beginning of the 20th Century and has been observed by the United Nations since 1975. The U.N. writes that it is an occasion to commemorate achievements in women's rights and to call for further change. More than 10,000 participants from government agencies and students formed the symbol in Manila, which is expected to make it into the Guinness World Records as the “largest human formation of the female symbol”, according to the event organiser.
