International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. IWD has been celebrated for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.

According to the National Association of Realtors Member Profiles for 2020, 64% of all registered real estate agents in the USA are female. However, among members who are over 60 years old, this percentage falls to 58%. Among broker licensees, 60% are female, compared with 67% of sales agent licensees. Among part-time sales agents, 70% are female, while 63% of full-time sales agents are female. No such detailed data has been found for Malta, however our own data indicates a gender balance closer to 50/50.
