Women’s Day, observed on March 8th each year, is a global celebration honoring the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It’s also a day to raise awareness about gender equality and advocate for women’s rights worldwide. This day serves as a reminder of the progress made towards gender equality and the work still needed to ensure a more inclusive and equitable world for all.
Why Women’s Day is Celebrated on 8th March
The date of March 8th for Women’s Day is rooted in the historical context of the women’s movement during the Russian Revolution in 1917. During this time, women in Russia protested for better working conditions, suffrage, and gender equality. Their courageous efforts and advocacy played a significant role in shaping the course of women’s rights globally. Since then, March 8th has been celebrated as International Women’s Day, honoring the contributions and struggles of women throughout history.
