Information about March 8 Women's Day

In China, it is known as the International Working Women's Day, the 8th of March Festival, and the 8th of March Women's Day.

The focus of the celebrations varies in different regions, ranging from a general celebration of respect, appreciation and love for women to a celebration of women's achievements in the economic, political and social spheres. Since the holiday began as a political event initiated by socialist feminists, the holiday has blended with the cultures of numerous countries.

International Women's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements, regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, language, culture, economic status and political stance.

Since then, International Women's Day has become a global women's day that has taken on new significance for women in developed and developing countries alike.

The growing international women's movement has been strengthened by four United Nations global conferences on women. Under their impetus, the observance has become a rallying cry for concerted efforts to fight for women's rights and women's participation in political and economic affairs.
