A Quick Look Back: The History of IWD

IWD's origins trace back to 1911, inspired by labor movements advocating for women's rights. German activist Clara Zetkin proposed the idea, leading to the first celebrations in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. The United Nations officially recognized March 8 as International Women's Day in 1975, solidifying its global significance.

Why It Matters

IWD highlights ongoing gender disparities and champions women's rights across political, social, and economic spheres. It fosters discussions on critical issues such as workplace equality, reproductive rights, and leadership representation. Governments and organizations utilize this day to implement policies supporting women's empowerment and to eliminate systemic discrimination.
