What is International Women's Day?
International Women's Day is celebrated worldwide. It was first held on March 19, 1911, in Germany and neighboring countries at the suggestion of the German social democrat Clara Zetkin. At that time, women wanted to fight for the right to vote, for equality, and for the rights of emancipation. The day serves as a reminder of how women have stood up for their rights throughout history. To this day, it is a tradition to give flowers on International Women's Day to pay respect and show appreciation.
