Abstract
Progressive civil society groups first observed International Women's Day in Europe on March 19, 1911. The day provides a platform for strikes, rallies, and protests for women's rights, development, and peace. Today, the official observance of International Women's Day focuses government, public, and media attention on ending gender‐based discrimination and violence and expanding women's political, economic, social, and cultural rights. Since 1975, the United Nations has observed International Women's Day annually on March 8 as part of its official calendar. UN representatives and government officials often use the spotlight of International Women's Day to announce policy initiatives.
