International women’s day is celebrated on March 8 globally, reflecting the movement for women’s rights or celebrating women’s achievements in the social sphere, economic sphere, cultural spheres or political spheres, etc.

 

The question which arises is why is women’s day celebrated on March 8?

On February 28, 1909, America’s socialist party organized a women’s day in New York City. Inspired by American socialist at the 1910 international socialist women’s conference, german delegates like Clara Zetkin and others proposed organizing the woman’s day annually. However, no specific date was decided for the same. In the following year, on March 19 1911, international women’s day was celebrated by millions of people, namely in Austria, Germany, Denmark etc. While the Americans celebrated women’s day on the last Sunday of February, Russia celebrated it on the last Saturday of February. In 1914, Germany celebrated women’s day on March 8, possibly due to Sunday, after which all the countries started marking it on March 8.

 

In recent times much progress has been made towards protecting or promoting women’s rights. However, it is not constant worldwide, or women cannot claim to have the same opportunities or rights as men do. According to the United Nations, over 40 per cent of the women are paid less than women for the same work due to gender parity (Gender parity reflects a statistical measure of the female to male ratio regarding education, income etc., ) and women subjected to domestic violence, rape etc.
