Gender equality is a collective responsibility

In 1910, a lady, Clara Zetken, during the second international conference of working women in Copenhagen suggested that what was previously called Woman’s Day become International Women’s Day.

In 1911, the first international Women’s Day was celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland by more than one million men and women in rallies that campaigned for women's rights to work, vote, to hold public office and end discrimination.
