Over the years, March 8 has become a moment of reflection on women's achievements and the challenges that still remain to be overcome.
The history of March 8
Women's Day has its roots in the feminist movements of the 20th century. In 1908, thousands of women marched through the streets of New York City demanding better wages, fairer working hours, and the right to vote. A year later, the Socialist Party in the United States declared the first National Women's Day. Then, in 1910, German activist Clara Zetkin proposed that March 8 be made an international holiday, and in 1977, the United Nations declared it International Women's Day.
