The history of International Women's Day: celebrating women's achievements and struggles through the years

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global celebration of women's social, economic, cultural, and political achievements, as well as a call for gender equality and women's rights.

The history of IWD can be traced back to the early 20th century, a time when women's rights movements were gaining momentum in many parts of the world.

The first National Women's Day was celebrated in the United States on February 28, 1909, as a way to honor the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York City, where women workers protested against poor working conditions and low wages.

The idea of a Women's Day quickly spread to other countries, and in 1910, the International Socialist Women's Conference proposed that a "Women's Day" be held annually.

The proposal was accepted, and the first International Women's Day was celebrated on March 19, 1911, in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland.

The date was later changed to March 8, and since then, IWD has been celebrated on this day every year.

In the early years, IWD was primarily a day for women to protest against discrimination and demand better working conditions, voting rights, and equal pay.

In 1975, the United Nations officially recognized International Women's Day, and since then, it has become a global event, celebrated by millions of people around the world.

The day has evolved to encompass a wide range of issues affecting women, including gender-based violence, reproductive rights, and women's leadership and representation in politics and business.

Fascinating facts you didn't know about International Women's Day
