International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated annually on March 8 to commemorate the women's rights movement. The day focuses on issues like gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence against women.
IWD originated from labor movements in Europe and North America in the early 20th century. The first Women's Day event was held in New York City on February 28, 1909, organized by the Socialist Party of America. The day gained popularity globally, and in 1977, the United Nations General Assembly invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day for Women's Rights and International Peace.

Today, IWD is celebrated in over 100 countries, with events ranging from rallies and marches to conferences and cultural performances. The day is also marked by corporations and organizations, which often use it as an opportunity to promote gender equality and women's empowerment.

Some notable events and themes associated with IWD include:
- *#ChooseToChallenge*: A campaign launched in 2021 to encourage people to challenge gender bias and inequality.
- *Women's History Month*: Celebrated in the United States during March, to recognize the contributions and achievements of women throughout history.
