Honouring women, whether professionally or personally, indicates a commitment to every woman in one's life. Every year on March 8th, International Women's Day is celebrated around the globe. Many countries also have proclaimed the day a national holiday.
Why Is International Women’s Day Celebrated?
Women from different backgrounds and experiences and across cultural and ethnic differences come together to honour their fight for peace, justice, equality, and progress across the country.
International Women's Day is dedicated to all women around the world and reminds them to value themselves and realise their full potential. It is also a reminder that a woman must also have the courage to overcome all the hurdles in her life to make progress and achieve great things.
It is a common cultural misunderstanding that women's worries are not as important as the worries of their male counterparts. However, in reality, women face many equally important problems. In addition, a woman faces several difficulties in balancing her career and home at the same time.
Moreover, homemakers are often ignored as they are considered to have no work at home. But, in reality, homemakers work day and night to serve their families and keep them comfortable.
On this celebration of International Women’s Day, no woman is ignored or rejected. This special day represents all the efforts that women put together to be recognized in society for who they are. International Women’s Day is celebrated to remember all those who fought and continue to fight for freedom and women’s rights.
The major goal of Woman's Day is to recognize women's accomplishments in numerous fields and their responsibilities, including being an artist, a teacher, an administrator, a politician, or a scientist.
How Is International Women’s Day Celebrated?
You can celebrate this day by recognising the efforts put in by the women in your life like your mom, sister, partner, or friends. You can visit many awareness programs and learn about the struggles of women. You can also take part or encourage people to participate in the fight for equality for women.
Conclusion
However, you need to remember that this is not a one-day thing, and we need to respect and recognize women every day!
Raising awareness about women's rights and gender equality is as important as other issues. Although we can all agree that no country has achieved gender equality, there are still a few places where the concept of gender equality does not exist at all. Women are denied equal opportunity all around the world.
