International Women’s Day has been celebrated since the 1900s and dates back to a period of political turmoil that began when 15,000 women marched in New York for voting and workers’ rights. By 2014, more than 100 countries had celebrated, and more than 25 countries had declared this day a holiday.
Women have faced a lot of difficulties and humiliations in life. They have always been treated as victims. Women are the beautiful creations of God who can give rise to new lives in this Universe.
