International Women’s Day originated in the early 20th century from labor protests in North America and Europe, with the first national women’s day held in the US in 1909. It was later championed by *socialist activist Clara Zetkin* in 1910 and adopted as a worldwide, annual, March 8th protest for women labor rights and suffrage.
This is the reason why you see most of the HR professionals as *Women* even today worldwide comparitively. To safeguard equal salary is given to both genders 😇
Power of Women’s day is not just praising them, gifting them in pink colours, making them to participate in dance competitions, Rangoli competitions. It’s a Remembrance Day of the equal pay rights 😎
