Why We celebrate Women's Day
International Women's Day is celebrated every year on March 8th to honor the achievements and contributions of women and to raise awareness about the challenges they still face in achieving gender equality. The day has its roots in the early 20th century, when women in various parts of the world began to organize and advocate for better working conditions, suffrage, and other rights.
Today, Women's Day serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made in advancing women's rights, but also as a call to action to continue the fight for gender equality. This includes addressing issues such as unequal pay, lack of representation in leadership positions, gender-based violence, and discrimination.
Women's Day is also an opportunity to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women across the world, and to recognize the important role that women play in creating a more just and equitable society.
Overall, Women's Day 2023 will be celebrated to honor women's achievements, raise awareness of the ongoing struggle for gender equality, and to promote greater opportunities and rights for women everywhere.
History of Women's Day Celebration
The first Women's Day was celebrated on February 28, 1909, in New York City, when the Socialist Party of America organized a National Women's Day to honor a garment worker's strike that had taken place the previous year. The following year, the International Socialist Women's Conference proposed that March 8th be celebrated as International Women's Day, and the first official International Women's Day was observed in 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland.
Over the years, International Women's Day has been marked by rallies, marches, and protests, as well as cultural events and celebrations. The day has also been used to draw attention to issues affecting women, such as gender-based violence, unequal pay, and lack of representation in leadership positions.
In 1975, the United Nations officially recognized International Women's Day, and since then, it has been celebrated by people in countries all around the world. Today, International Women's Day is a global celebration of women's achievements, as well as a call to action to continue the fight for gender equality
