International Women's Day (IWD), celebrated on March 8th annually, marks a global observance to honor women's achievements and advocate for gender equality. The day traces its origins to the early 20th century, catalyzed by women's labor movements in North America and Europe. The first National Woman's Day was observed in the US on February 28, 1909, inspired by the Socialist Party of America. In 1910, Clara Zetkin, a German activist, proposed the idea of an international day at the International Socialist Women's Conference, leading to the first IWD in 1911, celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. A core motive for IWD's inception was advocating for women's suffrage rights. The IWD gained recognition from the United Nations in 1977, which officially invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day for women's rights and world peace to highlight issues such as gender inequality, violence against women, and the need for gender parity in various sectors. In some countries, IWD is an official holiday, and men honor the women in their lives with flowers and small gifts. While there have been advancements in women's participation in politics and the workforce, significant gaps remain. IWD has mobilized movements, influenced policies, and brought attention to women's rights, showing the power of collective action in driving social change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day Art&Text🫶ChatGPT.
