There are only six countries that don't recognize International Women's Day. In Iraq, women can stoned to death for committing adultery”; a term that could mean being the victims of voilation under Islamist rule. It's also there where it's okay for a husband to beat his wife under certain circumstances. Female genital mutilation, practiced in Somalia, is noted for being a barbaric act of removing a young girl’s clitoris, usually using unsanitary instruments in poverty-stricken environments to remove the amount of sexual stimulation that the female can experienced.

Women in Saudi Arabia are forbidden from leaving the house without a male guardian, who is also responsible for granting permission to the female for actions such as marriage, education, employment and even opening a bank account. They aren't even allowed to drive. In Syria, slavery among women is common. They and other “enemies of the state” are frequently kidnapped, sold and bought at auction to be used as sex slaves, forced wives and other abhorrent things.

Caning is the punishment for women in Indonesia, if they're in close proximity with a man they're not married to. When a woman marries outside her class in India, she leaves herself vulnerable to acid attacks and being killed.

Most of the countries in the world celebrate women’s day but there are some countries that lack all of the resources to even know that this type of holiday exists. It is true that there are still some discrimination and stereotypes against women. There are some women who have done their best to prove themselves but they are still not given the type of recognition that they deserve.

There are some countries that are encouraged to celebrate this but those from the country do not really care much for the holiday. It is a sad fact that women are still not considered to be an equal sex to men. It may be because of people’s upbringing and other things that they have experienced in the past.
