Hello, Everyone!
The 8th of March 2024 marked International Women's Day dedicated to observing women's accomplishments and challenges and pitching for global endeavors to make the world a more fair and righteous place for women worldwide.

The concept of International Women's Day is stemmed from the 20th century which evolved from labor movements, in North America and Europe. In 1908 New York, the garment workers objected to the working conditions and the socialist party of America premiered Women's Day on 28th Feb 1909 to mark the objection raised by the 1908 garment workers.
The world-renowned German Feminist, socialist as well as socialist leader Clara Zetkin appealed for Women's Day at the International Women's Conference held in Copenhagen in 1910 and the concept gained consensus resulting in the premiere of International Women's Day in various European countries, with more than a million participants appealing for women's rights.
Since its inception, International Women's Day has evolved into a day of honor and jubilance worldwide. In 1975, the UN marked the day as Women's Day, and in 1977, the member states were called to declare the 8th of March as the United Nations Women's Rights and Global Peace Day.
This year the theme for International Women's Day assigned by the UN was 'Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress' and it features the requirement for businesses to invest in women centering on the economic disparity while making them a significant part of their working team to shoring up the concept of innovative notions and diverse perspectives. If businesses acquire this concept then they can reach new heights by flourishing within every realm. Also, the campaign theme ' Inspire Inclusion ' showcases the significance of gender inclusivity envisioning gender equality by encouraging multiple perspectives in the management and decision roles.
In our society, women are always celebrated for their persistent efforts and hope for themselves and their families. But there is so much more to them. A woman is a foundation of our society, her consistent efforts to make the world, a place to live with calm and happiness have always inspired every one of us.
A woman is a perfect exemplification of :
W: Wonderful
O: Original
M: Mesmerizing
E: Empowering
N: Nature's gift
and she owns a unique place in this world.
A woman has always been herself without any pretense by staying true to herself, her values, and her beliefs despite facing societal pressure or expectations. Every woman has her individuality in terms of her diverse talents, wide-ranging experiences, and multitude of perspectives.
A woman is on an eternal journey toward excellence in every walk of life. She always displays her best endeavors in succeeding in every possible realm, be it science and technology b or politics, or even arts or literature and there is always so much more to her.
Women have been torchbearers in carving a path for gen-next by their sheer courage determination and resilience to win against all odds have been truly remarkable and inspirational. Women uplifting women is the most crucial step towards women's empowerment.
If we talk about the challenges, gender inequality is still a matter of concern for every one of us globally. Women are still fighting their battle against threats such as discrimination, violence, and disparity towards access to education, health services, and employment possibilities.
Lastly, we can say that International Women's Day reminds us of her continuous struggle for gender equality and the significance of a unified call poising towards a more righteous and fair world . The day always has become symbolic of observing women's accomplishments and hopes along with envisioning advancements toward the coming time when women can flourish and achieve their potential.
Thank You.
