International Women's Day originated from the early 20th-century labor and socialist movements, but why is it celebrated on March 8? In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed the idea of an international day to recognize women's struggles and achievements at the International Socialist Women's Conference.

International Women’s Day is Saturday, March 8. According to the official International Women’s Day website, International Women’s Day is a specific day dedicated to the advancement of women worldwide.

Every year on March 8, the world comes together to celebrate womens achievements and advocate for gender equality. International Womens Day (IWD) is not just about honouring progress but also about recognizing the challenges that remain even in contemporary times.
