Which holiday do women celebrate annually on 8 March?

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 to commemorate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women. It is also a focal point in the women's rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women.

IWD originated from labor movements in North America and Europe during the early 20th century. IWD became a mainstream global holiday following its adoption by the United Nations in 1977.
