Why International Women’s Day Matters

The first observance of Women’s Day dates back to 1909 in the United States, and the idea of a global celebration was later proposed by Clara Zetkin in 1910. Since then, the day has evolved into a global movement recognising women's achievements and advocating equality.

Today, International Women’s Day serves as both a celebration and a reminder of the progress made—and the work still needed—to create a more equal world.
