Understanding International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day, celebrated annually on March 8, serves as a global reminder of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.

The day has deep historical roots and is observed around the world with various events, movements, and campaigns aimed at promoting equality.

A Brief Historical Overview

The origins of International Women’s Day trace back to the early 20th century. Beginning as a socialist movement in 1909 in New York City, the day was intended to highlight the economic and political issues faced by women. The first official International Women’s Day was celebrated in March 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, where more than a million women and men attended rallies advocating for women’s rights to work, vote, and hold public office.

By 1977, the United Nations invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace, solidifying the day’s significance on a global scale.
