International Women’s Day is a global day of celebration held annually on March 8th

It’s a day to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women in all areas of society, including politics, business, education, science, and the arts. It’s also a day to raise awareness about gender inequality and to advocate for women’s rights.

The first International Women’s Day was observed in 1909, and it has since grown into a global movement with events and activities taking place all over the world. Each year, International Women’s Day has a specific theme, which focuses on a particular aspect of women’s rights or gender equality.

People around the world celebrate International Women’s Day in different ways, including organizing marches and rallies, hosting conferences and seminars, and sharing messages of support and encouragement on social media. The day is an opportunity to recognize the progress that has been made in advancing women’s rights, and to call for continued action to achieve gender equality.

International Women’s Day is important because it raises awareness about the ongoing struggle for gender equality and women’s rights. Despite significant progress that has been made in recent years, women around the world still face discrimination, violence, and inequality in many aspects of their lives. International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women in all areas of society and to recognise the important contributions that women make to the world. It’s also a day to highlight the ongoing challenges that women face and to call for continued action to achieve gender equality and women’s rights.

By raising awareness about the importance of gender equality and women’s rights, International Women’s Day helps to inspire people to take action towards creating a more just and equitable world. This can include advocating for policy changes, supporting organisations that work to promote women’s rights, and challenging gender stereotypes and discrimination in our everyday lives.
