International Women’s Day is a global observance held on March 8 that celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women while advocating for gender equality and women’s rights. First recognized in the early 20th century and later supported by the United Nations, the day highlights progress toward equality and raises awareness of ongoing challenges such as discrimination, pay gaps, and unequal access to opportunities worldwide.
