International Women's Day (IWD) was observed on February 8, 1909, and the date of March 8 was established only after World War I, with IWD being officially recognized in 1975. At the beginning of the 20th century, one of the main goals of the holiday was to fight for women's voting rights, which were most championed by British and American women.
International Women's Day is an internationally recognized holiday established by the UN to mark the anniversary of the strike of 40,000 New York seamstresses in 1908. They fought for the abolition of the mandatory ten-hour workday, against low wages, and poor working conditions.
The date March 8 was established after World War I, mainly influenced by a large demonstration in Petrograd in 1917 just before the February Revolution, which took place on the last Sunday of February according to the Julian calendar, corresponding to March 8 in the Gregorian calendar. The holiday quickly spread, its content fluctuating from political and feminist protest to an apolitical socialist equivalent of Mother's Day.
Before World War I, women primarily outlined these demands:
- voting rights
- eight-hour workday
- improvement of special legislation
In Austria, Switzerland, and Germany, the first International Women's Day was celebrated as early as 1911. In 1913, it was also celebrated in Tsarist Russia. After women's unrest and demonstrations in Petrograd, March 8 was firmly established as International Women's Day in 1917.
Since 1975, it has been commemorated as a day of international solidarity among women for equality, justice, peace, and development.
