A brief history

The roots of this Day can be traced back to 1911, when labour movements protested against the poor working conditions caused by rapid industrialisation. Clara Zetkin, a German activist, proposed the idea, which led to the first celebration in the US and Europe. In 1975, The United Nations officially recognised 8 March as INW’s Day by giving it importance on a global scale.
