International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day is a global celebration observed on March 8 each year, dedicated to honoring the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It also serves as a call to action for accelerating gender parity and addressing issues such as gender inequality, discrimination, and violence against women. The day is marked by various events, including rallies, conferences, and discussions, aimed at promoting women’s rights and advocating for gender equality. International Women’s Day has roots in the early 20th century labor movements in North America and Europe and has since evolved into a worldwide observance recognized by the United Nations. Each year, a specific theme is often highlighted to focus discussions and actions related to women’s rights and advancement.
