Majority of us might actually agree with this saying as a woman is best defined as a symbol of positivity, determination, strong will-power, courage and lot more things. The International Women’s Day is celebrated every year on March 8. The day showcases a female’s contribution to building the society and making it a better place to live.
It was actually started by the Socialist Party in the United States in 1909 and was observed in New York, but it wasn’t until Clara Zetkin, a German feminist, pushed for it to be a holiday in 1910 that it really took off across Europe. It was celebrated in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in 1911, and became an important day for pacifist protests during World War I.
It later became an extremely important holiday in Russia because striking women workers sparked the February Revolution on International Women’s Day in 1917. Bolshevik leaders wanted to wait until Workers’ Day on May 1 to launch the revolution, but women took to the street to demand bread and an end to the war, and their protests forced the abdication of the czar. Lenin declared Women’s Day an official Soviet holiday after the October revolution, at the urging of his commissar of social welfare, Alexandra Kollontai.
Later, it spread throughout the socialist world, to places like China and Cuba, as an important day to recognize the contributions women have made to both family and the economy.
For over 100 years, International Women’s Day has been celebrated worldwide to commemorate women, their struggles, and their achievements. International Women’s Day was first observed by Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland in 1911 on March 19th and by Russia in 1913 on the last Sunday of February. March 8th has been the recognized date for International Women’s Day since 1914. This day is a national holiday in 27 countries, often involving men acknowledging the women who are special in their lives through flowers and small gifts.
This day is also celebrated by many more countries through events such as rallies, conferences, and parades. The United Nations has observed International Women’s Day since 1975 and has included an official theme for International Women’s Day since 1996. The theme for this year is “Equality for Women is Progress for All,” as mentioned directly in the International Women’s Day message from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. The UN also holds annual forums that bring together keynote speakers and political and business leaders to discuss the status of women worldwide, focusing this year on women in agriculture and how the private sector can empower women.
This day is a reminder to everyone worldwide that women play important roles in all parts of society, from education and politics to research and business, and is a day to reflect upon women, past and present, who have made an impact on others and on society.
The day was only recognised by the United Nations in 1975, but ever since it has created a theme each year for the celebration. On this International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the womanhood and make them feel extra special by sending them the best women’s day messages.
