Why Do We Celebrate Women’s Day On March 8?
International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8 every year to recognize and celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, as well as to call for gender equality and women’s rights. The date of March 8 for International Women’s Day was chosen in 1913 and has been observed on this day ever since. The date was chosen to commemorate a women’s strike that took place on March 8, 1908, in New York City, where garment workers went on strike to protest against poor working conditions and low wages.
