International Women’s Day, also called International Women’s Day, commemorates the struggle of women for their participation, on an equal footing with men, in society and in their integral development as a person. It is celebrated on March 8. It is a national holiday in some countries.

The first celebration of the International Working Women’s Day took place on 19 March 1911 in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland, and its commemoration has since been extended to many countries. In 1972 the General Assembly of the United Nations declared 1975 as the International Year of Women and in 1977 invited all States to declare, in accordance with their historical traditions and national customs, a day as International Day for Women’s Rights and Peace International.
