Let’s all be #EachforEqual.

International Women’s Day: History

The earliest Women’s Day observance, called “National Woman’s Day,” was held on February 28, 1909, in New York City, organized by the Socialist Party of America[10] at the suggestion of activist Theresa Malkiel. Though there have been claims that the day was commemorating a protest by women garment workers in New York on March 8, 1857, researchers have described this as a myth.

The idea to make it international came from Clara Zetkin, who suggested the idea at an International Conference for Working Woman in Copenhagen in 1910. It was comprised of 100 women from 17 countries. It was first celebrated in 1911 in Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, and Austria.

International Women’s Day is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. It is an occasion for looking back on past struggles and accomplishments, and more importantly, for looking ahead to the untapped potential and opportunities that await future generations of women.

Around the world, a significant level of activity gets underway and many groups and organizations use the IWD logo, the annual campaign theme and IWD assets to promote awareness about gender parity. The IWD logo is used to support and unify activity that celebrates and drives women’s advancement, and it’s brilliant to see the large volume of worldwide activity each year driving gender parity.

International Women’s Day Speech 2020:

International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated on the 8th of March every year. It is a focal point in the movement for women’s rights.

International Women’s Day aims to bring women of every age, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, and country to create a gender-equal world.

In a statement, the UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, said that the world does not there is no equality between men and women around the world and the latter are “radically impatient for change.”

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women – while also marking a call to action for accelerating gender equality.

The first International Women’s Day occurred in 1911, supported by over one million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.

Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist and activist once explained “The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organisation but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.”

Engaging topics and angles to cover

Some engaging topics and angles to include in International Women’s Day speeches and presentations include:

• Advocacy, inclusive mindsets and tangible action are needed from all
