Международный женский день — праздник, отмечаемый ежегодно 8 марта в ряде стран как «женский день». Исторически появился как день солидарности женщин во многих странах в борьбе за равные права и эмансипацию. С марта 1975 года Международный женский день отмечается в ООН.

International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8 every year. It is a focal point in the movement for women’s rights.
After the Socialist Party of America organised a Women’s Day on February 28, 1909 in New York, the 1910 International Socialist Woman’s Conference suggested a Women’s Day be held annually. After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917, March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then predominantly celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted in 1975 by the United Nations.
