• In 1910, Clara Zetkin, the leader of the Women's Office for the Social Democratic Party in Germany, suggested the idea of an International Women's Day. This was during the second International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen.

The uniqueness of March is brought about by international events highlighting important issues such as women's rights. Most people tend to confuse Mother's Day and Women's Day. How different can it be? Well, on Mother's Day, we celebrate all mothers, women who have children or have been in a position to parent and be a motherly figure to someone, while on Women's Day, we celebrate all females above 18 years.

March 8 of every year marks the International Women's Day. It is a day when people celebrate acts of courage and determination by extraordinary women—celebrating their importance in society and the impact they have brought to society.

In 1910, Clara Zetkin, the leader of the Women's Office for the Social Democratic Party in Germany, suggested the idea of an International Women's Day. This was during the second International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen.

March 8 became the established date, and the United Nations' recognition in the 1970s solidified its global observance.

This month, as we approach the wonderful day of International Women's Day, let us celebrate women's social, economic, cultural, and political achievements.
