International Women’s Day is Saturday, March 8. According to the official International Women’s Day website, International Women’s Day is a specific day dedicated to the advancement of women worldwide.

Originating in 1909 as a movement for equal rights, better working conditions, and fair wages for women in New York City, International Women's Day now celebrates women's achievements while advocating for gender equality and rights.

On International Women's Day, the ITUC stands in solidarity with women workers, their trade unions and all progressive allies around the world, in the struggle for gender equality, women's rights, and social and economic justice for all.
