History and Significance of International Women's Day

International Women's Day (IWD) has its roots in the early 20th century, emerging from labour movements in North America and Europe. It was first celebrated in 1911 and has since grown into a global event recognised annually on 8th March. The day highlights the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, while also calling attention to ongoing struggles for gender equality and women's rights.

Each year, International Women's Day adopts a theme that reflects current issues affecting women worldwide. It serves as a reminder of progress made and the work still needed to achieve true equality.
