International Women’s Day (IWD) has been recognized worldwide since 1911, honoring women's achievements and advocating for gender equality.
Every year, IWD adopts a unique theme set by organizations like the UN, focusing on issues like gender parity, equity, and inclusion.
The date marks a 1917 protest by Russian women demanding “Bread and Peace,” which led to major political changes.
Purple signifies justice and dignity, green symbolizes hope, and white represents purity—colors adopted by the women’s suffrage movement.
From science to sports, politics to arts, IWD shines a light on the contributions of women in all industries.
Many countries observe Women’s History Month in March, extending the conversation on women’s rights and achievements.
IWD is not just about celebration—it’s a reminder that gender equality is still a work in progress, urging action for a better future.
