International Women's Day: 'One Woman' song send message of unity

A group of artists and musicians from around the world have come together to record an inspiring song to mark International Women's Day.

To the tranquil sitar playing of Anoushka Shankar, the daughter of famed sitar player Ravi Shankar, male and female artists sing the chorus: "We are one woman, your world is mine and we shall shine".

The video for the song is interspersed with images of women around the world in their daily lives.

The project was created by UN Women, an organisation associated with the United Nations and founded in 2011 to empower women and achieve gender equality worldwide.

The song sends a message of unity and solidarity to end violent crimes against women and girls.

This year's International Women's Day focuses on violence against women in a year where high profile cases like the shooting of teenager Malala Yousafzai and brutal gang-rapes in India have garnered worldwide attention.
