International Women’s Day, observed every year on 8th March stands as a testament to remember the relentless efforts of the feminist philosophers and
women’s rights activists
throughout history. Through their writings and a brave voice, they have challenged the narrative of gender roles and strongly advocated for gender justice, women’s rights, reproductive rights, and gender equality.
From the women’s suffrage movement to the global feminist movement, every country has witnessed the efforts of women’s rights activists in creating a more equitable and inclusive society.
Labour movements and Universal female suffrage have been associated with the origin of International Women’s Day. The genesis of International Women’s Day dates back to the worker's strike organized by women workers in New York City, protesting against harsh working conditions and inequality. It was the year 1977 when March 8 was officially declared a UN holiday for women’s rights by the UNGA (United Nations General Assembly).
