In an opinion piece in Forbes' "Leadership" blog, contributor Davia Temin highlights International Women's Day, observed annually on March 8, writing, "There has been so much talk, but so little action -- around women's leadership, gender equality, and curtailing violence against women. This year, however, efforts seem to be more serious." She describes a number of events and activities that took place in recognition of the day and continues, "But it was the U.N. that showcased what in reality has the potential to change the landscape for women in the global labor force."
