In honoring history, we can ensure the future's success: International Women's Day 2024

Mar 20, 2024

On the 8th day of March, people gather for celebrating International Women's Day (IWD). This day is a time to celebrate the achievements of women, and to reflect on the obstacles they must overcome and commit to a future where women can be given the same respect as men. It's clear that this event didn't happen by chance. This is the culmination of many years of struggle, determination and unwavering determination. Today, we commemorate the day and invite anyone to join in the celebration by taking a brief trip through the rich background of IWD which is a proof of the continuing effectiveness of actions taken collectively.

Beginning with Seeds of Change to a Global Movement

The seeds of IWD began to germinate at the beginning of the 20th century. This was the time that women's rights was gaining momentum. In 1857, on March 8, women took to the streets in protest at the poor conditions at work in addition to the lack of protections for women in the workplace. The strike demanded an enlightened work schedule and fair pay for living. A few years later in 1908, on the 8th of March, an organized march of women working in the trade of needles was held to protest child labor and working conditions in sweatshops and to demand that women be able to vote. In 1910, two years after the march, March 8th was every year celebrated by the United Nations as International Women's Day.

The catalyst to change

The 20th century marked a period when IWD became a significant powerhouse that brought about positive changes. It grew into a platform that allowed women to raise their voices regarding fair work conditions and pay, as well as accessibility to higher education. It was in 1975 that it became the year when The United Nations officially recognized IWD and acknowledged its value across the globe.

A Day of Celebration and Action

In the present, IWD is celebrated in various ways, from inspirational gatherings to private celebrations. This is a chance to honor exceptional women in every field including artists and scientists to activists and business owners. It's important to realize that IWD isn't just a time to honor, but also it's a chance to make a difference. It highlights that the struggle to ensure equality for women and men isn't over. It is imperative to continue to ensure equal opportunity to dispel stereotypes, as well as support women and girls all over the world. The main theme of International Women's Day 2024 is " Invest in Women to achieve progress" and the widely trending hashtag "#InvestInWomen...
