International Women's Day, celebrated every year on March 8, serves to honor women's social, economic, and political achievements. Its origin is closely linked to the labor movement and the struggle for women's equality.

The History of International Women's Day

The roots of International Women's Day go back to 1857, when forty thousand textile and garment workers in New York went on strike for better working conditions and higher wages. Later, in 1908, again in New York, 146 women lost their lives in a workplace fire because the factory's safety regulations were inadequate. These events highlighted women's working conditions and rights.

In 1910, at the second International Socialist Women's Conference, Clara Zetkin, a German politician and feminist leader, proposed holding a day every year dedicated to women's rights and female solidarity. As a result, the first International Women's Day was held in 1911. Since then, March 8 has become a day to fight for women's rights and international peace.

Although International Women's Day is known worldwide, different cultures have various traditions. In South Korea, for example, besides the March 8th celebration, there is another day called "Bója Day" (3.8), which men use to express their respect for women. On this day, men give flowers, sweets, or other gifts to women, especially mothers and wives. Families also eat together and organize various events to honor women.
