History of International Women’s Day
The Socialist Party of America first announced the national Women’s Day on 28th of February 1909. Following this, the International Women’s Conference was being conducted on August 1910 in Copenhagen. Luise Zeitz, being influenced by the American Socialist Party suggested the establishment of International Women’s Day. Many delegates atleast 150 women from various countries supported this idea so as to promote their rights to equality within the society. People from Germany, Austria and Denmark also agreed on the idea of International Women’s Day in the following year (March 8, 1911). Women demanded:
- Right to vote
- Right to public office
- Right against Sex Discrimination
- Right for Employment
Finally, International Women’s Day was first celebrated as a demotic event after 1977 when members were being invited by the UN General Assembly to declare March 8 as the International Women’s Day.
