- International women’s day is marked annually on March 8th. It’s the most important day to celebrate women's achievements, educate and awareness raise for women's equality, call for positive change advancing women, lobby for accelerated gender parity, and fundraise for female-focused charities.
- International Women’s Day was marked for the first time in March 1911 – and the date was fixed as 8 March 1913. The UN celebrated it for the first time in 1975 and in 1996 it announced its first annual theme: "Celebrating the past, Planning for the Future".
- It is essential to note that this year's theme is "DigitALL: Technology and innovation for gender equality". The International Women's Day theme is usually decided by United Nations Women's Organisation.
- This year’s theme's main goal is to raise awareness of women and girls about their rights and raise civic engagement by using a gender-responsive approach to innovation, technology, and digital education. And to reduce the growing disparities between men and women in terms of access to and proficiency with digital technologies, women are falling behind due to this digital gender gap.
- Women should be supported and encouraged by everyone. The world is moving towards gender equality. It is moving towards a balance between both men and women. A change is required and is also essential. However, this needs a change, as we all are humans and should be treated equally with equal rights and opportunities.
