Why International Women’s Day

Historia del Día Internacional de la Mujer
The campaign was started in the year 1910 by a German Activist – Clara Zetkin after getting approval from the International Socialist Congress to create an international version of the U.S. Holiday. On 19th March, 1911, the first International Women’s Day or IWD was celebrated with the help of Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. To mark the day and to make it successful, more than one million people attended rallies during that time.
