INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

March 8 is International Women's Day. It’s a global day to recognize and
celebrate women’s and girls’ social, economic, cultural, and political
achievements. It’s also a time to raise awareness of the progress made towards
achieving gender equality and the work remaining to be done.

The beginnings of International Women's Day can be traced back to the early
twentieth century. It emerged from the activities of labour movements in North
America and Europe and reflected a growing call for women’s equal participation
in society. International Women's Day first took place on March 19, 1911, in
Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. That day, over a million women and
men attended public events to show their support. Other countries began to
observe and celebrate this day in the years that followed. The United Nations
recognized 1975 as International Women's Year and began celebrating March 8 as
International Women's Day.

Today, International Women's Day is a day of unity, celebration, reflection,
advocacy, and action and is celebrated in many countries worldwide.
