International Women’s Day 2023

International Women’s Day is a global celebration of women’s achievements and a call for gender equality. It is celebrated on March 8th every year and has been observed since the early 1900s. The day is an opportunity to recognize the social, economic, cultural, and political contributions of women, as well as to acknowledge the ongoing struggles for gender equality.

International Women’s Day is celebrated in many different ways around the world. Some countries hold events and marches, while others organize conferences and workshops. Many people also use the day to raise awareness about women’s issues, such as gender-based violence, unequal pay, and discrimination.

The theme of International Women’s Day changes each year, and in recent years, themes have included “Choose to Challenge,” “Each for Equal,” and “Press for Progress.” The day is an important reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the need for continued efforts to empower women and girls around the world.

International Women’s Day grew out of efforts in the early 20th century to promote women’s rights, especially suffrage. The Socialist Party of America in 1909 held the first National Woman’s Day.

The concept of a ‘woman’s day’ caught on in Europe. On March 19, 1911, the first International Woman’s Day was held, drawing more than 1 million people to rallies worldwide.

Women earn 23% less than men globally. Women occupy only 24% of parliamentary seats worldwide. 1 in 3 have experienced physical/sexual violence.

Today not one country can claim to have achieved gender equality. Multiple obstacles remain unchanged in law and in culture. There is a significant threat of rollback of hard-won feminist gains.
