International Women's Day, observed on March 8 every year, is a global occasion dedicated to honoring the achievements of women in all aspects of life-social, economic, cultural, and political. It also serves as a call to action for accelerating gender equality and empowering women worldwide. The roots of International Women's Day can be traced back to the early 20th century, when women began advocating for better working conditions, voting rights, and gender equality. The first official International Women's Day was celebrated in 1911, and later, in 1977, the United Nations recognized it as a global observance. Each year, International Women's Day follows a specific theme, focusing on issues like women's leadership, digital inclusion, and breaking gender biases. The day is marked by rallies, educational events, and campaigns promoting equal opportunities and women's rights.
