This year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) falls on March 8, with the campaign theme being #EachforEqual. In celebration of women power and sisterhood, some F&B establishments have rolled out IWD events, such as Tuscan-Italian restaurant Monti at Marina Bay. It has unveiled a one day-only Bottomless Brunch, You Go Girl, on March 8 (from 11am-3pm),  with half of the proceeds to be donated to Singapore’s gender equality advocacy group, Aware.
