When is International Women’s Day?
The International Women’s Day is celebrated annually on the 8th of March.
History of International Women’s Day
After the Socialist Party of America organized a Women’s Day in New York City on February 28, 1909, German revolutionary Clara Zetkin proposed at the 1910 International Socialist Woman’s Conference that 8 March be honored as a day annually in memory of working women.
The day has been celebrated as International Women’s Day or International Working Women’s Day ever since. After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917, March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then predominantly celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted by the feminist movement in about 1967.
The United Nations began celebrating the day in 1975, but commemoration of International Women’s Day is still largely ignored in several parts of the world.
