March 8th is a global celebration of women's achievements, strength, and resilience, while also raising awareness for gender equality. It's a great opportunity for self-care, empowerment, and community-building—all of which align beautifully with Holistipedia's wellness mission!
Did you know?
The beginnings of International Women's Day can be traced back to the early twentieth century. It emerged from the activities of labour movements in North America and Europe and reflected a growing call for women’s equal participation in society.
International Women's Day first took place on March 19, 1911, in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. That day, over a million women and men attended public events to show their support. Other countries began to observe and celebrate this day in the years that followed. The United Nations recognized 1975 as International Women's Year and began celebrating March 8 as International Women's Day.
