Significance of International Women's Day

Women's Day is a day dedicated for recognizing, celebrating and speaking up for sacrifices, struggles and achievements of every woman on this globe. The whole world celebrates this amazing occasion on 8 March every year.

Do we really need to celebrate International Women's Day?

Yes. We do.

Women have been fighting for their rights since decades. But the notion - when men are oppressed it is a tragedy, when women are oppressed it is a tradition - still exists in millions of brains on the globe. This needs a change. 

However, the fact that women have progressed a lot better than they were centuries ago cannot be negated. Woman of today is agile - in thoughts and in action. She can rule the country. She can lead the Forces. She can head a Multi-National Company. She can deep dive into the heart of the ocean or reach daringly the peaks of snow-filled mountains. She can harmoniously balance her home and career. 

International Women's Day offers a great scope to bring out the voices that needs to be heard of women's needs - social, political, economic, gender disparity, glass ceiling and many challenges that women across the globe are suffering now, even in this digital age.

How International Women's Day started?

It all started in 1908 when a group of around 15000 women marched on the streets of New York demanding their rights on many fronts. From the next year onwards, the Socialist Party of America declared the celebration and has been celebrating this day every year.

Since then, the occasion has become a great platform for unifying voices all across the globe in support of what need to be done further for women empowerment. Every year, a new theme is attributed for Women's Day and discussions and implementations are done on these grounds accordingly.
