International Women’s Day on March 08th each year celebrates the social, economic, and political achievements of women around the world.
International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women's Day, is marked on March 08 every year.
The day also brings international awareness to gender parity. According to the World Economic Forum, global gender equality is estimated to be achieved by 2133.
International Women’s Day origins can be traced back to the early 1900s when women became more politically active. They took an invested and vocal role in steering their course toward voting rights, fair pay, improved working conditions, and representation under the law.
International Women's Day was first observed as a popular event after 1977 when the United Nations General Assembly invited member states to proclaim March 08 as the UN Day for women's rights and world peace.
