08 March 2018 - Trent Refractories Celebrates 2018 International Women’s Day

Our ladies at Trent Refractories are superstars and we wouldn’t be who we are today without their perseverance and conscientious attitudes. Thank you ladies. The theme for International Women's Day 2018 was chosen as - 'Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives'.

While the first observance of a Women's Day was held on February 28, 1909 in New York, March 8 was suggested by the 1910 International Socialist Woman's Conference to become an "International Woman's Day." After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917, March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then predominantly celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted in 1975 by the United Nations.
