Many of us are aware of the motive behind the celebration but most of us hardly know its history. So, before we move on to talk about beautiful quotes, wishes and messages. Let’s first discover how it started? 

Brief History About Women’s Day

Did you know that International Women Day originates from socialist movements of the early 20th century? It began in February 1908. Thousands of women garment workers took to the streets in New York to protest against their working conditions. They protested against long work hours, low pay and the lack of voting rights. A year later, the women were still striking. Hence, the Socialist Party of America declared February 28 as Women’s Day, in honor of the anniversary of those strikes. 

However, it was Clara Zetki, a German Marxist theorist, activist and advocate for women’s rights, who proposed to celebrate Women’s Day internationally. This was at an International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen in 1910. Around 100 women from 17 countries attended and they unanimously agreed to celebrate Women’s Day worldwide. In 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland post women’s day was celebrated when women gained political right to vote in Russia in 1917. March 8 was declared as a National Holiday there. Since then we have celebrated International Women’s Day on the 8th of March.  

Today, International Women’s Day is celebrated around the world and is considered an official holiday in at least 27 countries. This includes Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine and Cambodia, where they officially honor women’s rights and achievements.

Why Wear Purple?

This symbolizes that anyone, be it a man or woman or transgender, joins the other women across the word in solidarity to celebrate this special day. The color purple signifies Justice and Dignity. Besides purple, white and green colors are associated with purity and hope respectively.
