Women's Day

 Women's Day

International Women's Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 to commemorate the cultural, political, and economic achievements of women. It is also a focal point in the women's rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence against women. International Women’s Day originated from labor movements in North America and Europe during the early 20th century. 

International Women's Day is commemorated in a variety of ways worldwide; it is a public holiday in several countries, and observed socially or locally in others. The UN observes the holiday in connection with a particular issue, campaign, or theme in women's rights. In some parts of the world, International Women’s Day still reflects its political origins, being marked by protests and calls for radical change; in other areas, particularly in the West, it is largely sociocultural and centred on a celebration of womanhood. 

The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women's achievements or rally for women's equality. Marked annually on March 8th, International Women's Day is one of the most important days of the year to:

  • Celebrate women's achievements
  • Raise awareness about women's equality
  • Lobby for accelerated gender parity
  • Fundraiser for female-focused charities

International Women's Day has been celebrated every year since 1911 – that's over 100 years. And its two-fold message now remains the same as when it was started to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, but also to mark a call to action for accelerating gender parity. 

Women’s Day is an important day to celebrate women around the world. The most talented people in the world. They play many roles in life and every one is equally important. Reflect on the progress that the world has gone through because if the majority population of woman doing their part. Raise awareness!
