Artist Sophie Diao emphasizes the value of learning from past experiences.
International Women's Day (IWD) was first celebrated in 1975 in the United Nations and further it is celebrated every year on March 8 to commemorate two early demonstrations in Saint Petersburg and New York City, aiming to achieve gender equality and fairness. The post acknowledges the courageous acts of women who have paved the way for those who are going to carry the torch further by wishing them a Happy Women's Day.
The theme for International Women's Day 2024 is "Inspire Inclusion," which signifies diversity and empowerment. The day reflects global issues related to gender equality, focusing on women's empowerment, education, eradicating violence, and economic equality. The purple, green, and white colors symbolize justice, dignity, hope, and purity. IWD raises awareness and advocates for change, acknowledging progress in women's rights worldwide.
