International Women's Day is celebrated annually on March 8 to mark and celebrate women's social, economic, cultural, political achievements and raise awareness about women's equality and gender equity.

International Women's Day began in 1911. Celebrating Women is a way to feel gratitude for every woman in a person’s life, be it professionally or in personal life.

Women play an important role in community building and family building. The toxic culture of stereotyping gender is one of the reasons for the lack of equal opportunities for women. Malala Yousafzai is a perfect example of what a woman can achieve despite hardship and difficulties. The problem that the women's rights movement addresses are female infanticide, equal pay, women's safety in public places. domestic abuse, child marriage etc. International Women's Day is about making a difference locally and globally and providing a better and safer future for women in society around the world.
