What should we know about March 8? Here are some interesting facts

What is International Women's Day? You've also noticed it marked on the calendar, although we don't need holidays designated on the calendar to celebrate the strength and courage of women, because they are so extraordinary that they should be celebrated every day, but it's good that this day exists for to evaluate their work and to emphasize gender equality.

The development of women since the first International Women's Day in 1908 until today is impressive. It all started when 15,000 amazing women marched in the streets of New York that year, demanding fewer hours, better pay and the right to vote.

Today, not only are women voting, but there has also been an election for the first woman president. Although it has taken a century to get here, change does not happen overnight. So to thank the 15,000 women who marched that day, take a moment to understand what this holiday really means.
