International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global observance celebrated annually on March 8th, dedicated to recognizing and honoring the achievements and contributions of women across social, economic, cultural, and political fields. It serves as a rallying point for gender equality and women’s rights, highlighting issues such as gender parity, discrimination, and violence against women. Established in the early 20th century, International Women’s Day now includes a range of activities, events, and campaigns aimed at promoting women’s rights and raising awareness about the ongoing challenges faced by women worldwide. The day encourages advocacy, community involvement, and solidarity, and it often features themes that focus on specific issues affecting women in different contexts.
