The prerequisite for the creation of the holiday was March of Empty Pots and Pans, which took place on March 8, 1857. On that day, textile workers from New York marched through the city protesting against low-paying jobs and poor ⚒️ Working conditions.
The very idea of International Women’s Day originated in the early 20th century when the second International Conference of Working Women was held in 1910. Clara Zetkin put forward the main goal of the future holiday, which was to defend women’s rights.
In 1975, the UN officially approved International Women’s Day. It has been celebrated every year since that time. Every year a certain theme is assigned to the holiday. For example, in 2000, the motto was Women’s unity in the struggle for 🌎 Peace, and in 2021 it was Women in 👩💼 Leadership: Achieving an equal future in a 👑🦠 COVID-19 World.
