Montréal-based Susan McPhee designed this commemorative stamp based on a variation of the female symbol. It adapts the traditional symbol to reference a human eye and a globe at its centre, reflecting the UN’s global perspective on advancing gender equality. 1975 marked the first year to celebrate International Women’s Day (March 8th).
