What is International Women's Day?
International Women’s Day takes place every year on 8 March to celebrate the achievements of women all over the world. It started with a protest that took place in New York City in 1908 where women went out onto the streets to demand the right to vote, shorter working hours and better pay. Since then it has taken many forms and today it’s a global event that is supported by lots of charities, governments and academic institutions. In some countries, March 8 is an official holiday and in other countries it’s an official holiday but only for women.
