International Women's Day
International
Women’s Day is celebrated every year on March 8, recognizing and appreciating
women’s political, economic and social achievements over the decades. Woman’s
Day was first observed in 1909 in the United States and it is only in 1977 that
the United Nations officially declared International Women’s Day celebration on
March 8. An event which started as a political affair has evolved over the
years. “Empowering
Women is Empowering Humanity.” On this occasion, we should endeavor building a
better world where men and women live harmoniously, free of violence and
discrimination.” Theme for International Womens Day 2019 is “Think
equal, build smart and innovate for change.”
