International Women¡¯s Day
International Women¡¯s Day0International Women¡¯s Day (IWD) is a day to mark women¡¯s social, economic, cultural, and political achievements. It is celebrated on Mar. 8 every year to accelerate progress towards gender parity. IMD¡¯s scope of activities encompasses increasing awareness of gender equality, advocating for positive change in women¡¯s advancement, lobbying for greater gender parity, and fundraising for women-focused charities.

IWD is not country, group, or organization-specific; it is an inclusive day for diverse groups worldwide. Additionally, it is an official holiday in 27 countries (generally countries of the former Soviet Union). The colors of IWD are purple, green, and white. Purple stands for justice and dignity, green signifies hope, and white symbolizes purity. This year, the theme for IWD is ¡°Inspire Inclusion,¡± stemming from the conviction that inspiring others to value women¡¯s inclusion will aid in forging a better world.

International Women¡¯s Day4A German women¡¯s rights activist named Clara Zetkin was the first to introduce the idea of the IWD at the International Socialist Women¡¯s Conference in Copenhagen in 1910, paving the way for its foundation. Soviet Russia proclaimed IMD a public holiday in 1917, and other communist countries soon began to commemorate the holiday as well. In 1967, second-wave feminists adopted the holiday, and IWD resurfaced as a day of activism. By the 1970s, the women¡¯s groups aligned with leftists and labor organizations to demand equal pay and other legislative rights. The United Nations formally recognized IMD in 1977 and designated Mar. 8 as its official date.

Although IWD is associated with Soviet countries in general, celebrations transpire worldwide. In Chile, protesters march through the streets donning green handkerchiefs to symbolize their support of reproductive rights. In China, employers are encouraged to give female staff a half-day leave. In Italy, women are gifted batches of small yellow mimosas, representing female strength.
