==== The History Behind International Women's Day ====
International Women's Day has deep historical roots, tracing its origins back to the early 20th century. The idea for a day to celebrate women’s social, political, and economic achievements came from the labor movements in the United States and Europe, where women were fighting for better working conditions, suffrage, and equal rights.

The first National Women's Day was celebrated in the United States on February 28, 1909, following a call by the Socialist Party of America. However, it was in 1910 during the International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen that the idea of a global Women's Day was born. The following year, in 1911, the first International Women's Day was observed in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, where rallies and demonstrations took place to demand women's right to vote, work, and receive equal pay.

The United Nations began formally recognizing International Women's Day in 1977, and in 1995, the platform was expanded to focus on women’s empowerment, gender equality, and the challenges still faced by women globally. Today, it serves as both a celebration and a call for action toward a more inclusive world.
