Today, March 8, is International Women’s Day. In support of equal rights of women around the world, it’s celebrated as a holiday in some countries as a hodgepodge of Valentine’s Day and Mothers’ Day traditions, and observed with demonstrations and marches in others.
If you’re traveling internationally (especially Eastern Europe, but also such popular travel destinations as China, Costa Rica, and South Africa, to name a few), you might encounter closures, delays, or blocked traffic routes—all in the name of advancement of women worldwide.
