International Women's Day, March 8th, is a time for women and our allies to come together for equity, justice, and the rights of women. We celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.
The first National Woman's Day was observed in the United States in February 1909.
International Women's Day was marked for the first time in March 1911, when more than one million people attended rallies in support of women's right to vote, to hold public office, and to work.
