Happy International Womens Day 2023 HIGHLIGHTS: Welcome to the Live Blog of ABP Live on International Women's Day (IWD) 2023. International Women's Day is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. Observed annually on March 8, this day recognises the contributions of women to society and highlights the ongoing struggle for gender equality around the world.The history of International Women's Day dates back to the early 20th century when women in Europe and the United States began to organize and advocate for women's rights. In 1908, a group of women in New York City held the first Women's Day march to demand better working conditions and the right to vote. Two years later, an International Women's Conference was held in Copenhagen, where delegates from 17 countries agreed to establish an annual International Women's Day to promote women's suffrage and labour rights.Since then, International Women's Day has grown into a global movement, with events and activities taking place in countries around the world. The day has become an opportunity to recognize the achievements of women in all fields, from politics and business to science and the arts. It is also a time to highlight the ongoing struggle for gender equality and to call for action to address the challenges that women continue to face.Today, International Women's Day is celebrated in many different ways, from rallies and marches to conferences and cultural events. Each year, the day is marked by a different theme, chosen to reflect the most pressing issues facing women and girls around the world. Recent themes have focused on topics such as gender-based violence, women's leadership, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women.Overall, International Women's Day is an important moment to celebrate the achievements of women and to call for greater gender equality. While progress has been made in recent years, there is still a long way to go to ensure that women are truly equal in all aspects of life. By recognizing the contributions of women and highlighting the challenges they face, International Women's Day helps to build momentum for change and inspires action towards a more just and equal world for all.
