International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8 every year to honour women's rights and celebrate women and their undying contribution to our society.
The history behind this important day can be traced back to the 19th century women's suffrage movement. It is noticed that while women constitute half of the human population and have widely progressed in many fields of life, conquering both traditional and new roles-- their contributions aren't appreciated enough. And thus, this day is celebrated to honour women's rights, gender equality and women's achievements.
This year's theme for International Women's Day is 'Be Bold for Change' which encourages women to be bolder, stronger and more powerful in all spheres of life.
