Celebrating International Women’s Day – Sunday, March 8
On Sunday, March 8, we join communities around the world in celebrating International Women's Day — a day dedicated to honoring the achievements, strength, resilience, and contributions of women everywhere.
A Brief History
International Women’s Day has been observed for over a century, with its roots dating back to 1908 when women began organizing for better working conditions, voting rights, and equal opportunities. The movement gained international recognition and was officially recognized by the United Nations in 1975.
Today, it is celebrated globally as both a tribute and a call to action — recognizing progress while continuing to advocate for equality.
