The United Nations （UN） has been officially promoting （正式推广）IWD since 1977. On Friday, the UN held a special event in honor of the day. The UN says that around the world, many countries are changing their laws to better protect the rights （权利）of women. There is also progress in women’s education. There are more girls in school now than ever before. Though the UN is celebrating things that have gone well for women, they are also pointing out challenges.

Of course, bosses are often the ones who make decisions about pay. The UN says that among the 500 largest companies in the US, less than 7% of the leaders are women.
