"International Women’s Day is a holiday that honors women and promotes women’s rights. It takes place every year on March 8. International Women’s Day dates back to 1911, when many women were fighting for the right to vote. The United Nations (UN) began sponsoring the day in 1975.
People around the world celebrate International Women’s Day. In some places, women receive flowers or other gifts. Groups in many countries arrange talks, performances, and other activities. Each year the UN helps to organize events related to a specific women’s rights issue—for example, improving education or ending violence against women." Britannica Kids
The theme for this year's International Women's Day is Embrace Equity. Equity isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have. Equity means creating a fair and equal world.
