On 8th March which marks the International Women’s Day, the world celebrated and remembered women for their contributions in global developments. The idea behind the day is to remember that whether a woman is a homemaker or a CEO, she is entitled to make her own choices without guilt or remorse. The International Women’s Day also happens to be the day when netizens and fans are waiting to see important messages from celebrities and people who come from a place of privilege and this past week we saw many Pakistani celebrities voicing their opinions and paying tributes to important women in their lives.
