Today we celebrate National Women’s Day. What is National Women’s Day ? It is the day when women are recognized for their achievements and is celebrated around the world. This day has been observed since the the early 1900’s. Celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action and has been occurring for well over a century and continues to grow in strength. In 2011 former President Barack Obama proclaimed March to be Women’s History Month.
How did it start ? It can be traced back to 1908, when 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding voting rights, better pay and shorter working hours. Today the day is marked around the world with arts performances, talks, rallies, networking events, conferences and marches. Last year there was a Google Doodle marking the celebration featuring women and girls across the world who complete the sentence “One day I will “, talking about their dreams and ambitions. It helps bring together governments, women’s organizations, corporations and charities.
