Did you know? International Women’s Day (IWD) has over a century of history! ?? It started in 1908, when 15,000 women marched in New York City for better pay, shorter hours, and voting rights. By 1911, it became a global movement, and by 1975, the United Nations officially recognized March 8 as International Women’s Day. ?? This day isn’t just about celebration—it’s about continuing the fight for equity, opportunity, and representation. ?? How are you honoring women’s progress today?
