hours, and better pay. In 1975, the United Nations began celebrating it with

Tomorrow, i.e., Gender equality is essential for a strong future.
Women
are indeed waving Parcham in every field. But it is also a bitter truth that
even today, they have to face gender inequality discrimination in many places.
Cases of female foeticide still come up today. Crimes against women are on the
rise. In such a situation, it is our duty to resolve to keep striving to make
the condition of women better in society.
On
this day, Nari Shakti is honored. Indian society has had a history of evidence
of gender equality and female glory since ancient times.
The
tradition of Yatra Naryastu Pujyante Ramante Tatra Devta is written in our
texts which means that the deities reside where women are respected. In this
way, we can say that women have been given more respect than men in our
culture.
A
woman has been given the title of Jagat Janani. The existence of creation is
linked to the woman, and they are considered to be the basis of creation.
Without a woman, a man is considered to be incomplete. In the modern
world, international women's day is
celebrated every year on March 8 all over the world.
If
our texts are read carefully, it seems that women were also respected in the
earlier Golden Age, Treta and Dravya Yuga.
The
primary purpose of organizing events like International Women's Day is not only
to make women aware not only. Instead, they have to be motivated to come
forward for the advancement of society.
The
first International Women's Day was first celebrated in the United States on
February 28, 1909, at the call of the Socialist Party.
It
was a social movement whose main aim was to demand women the same rights as men
and to give them rights like voting rights.
This
was the time when men underestimated women, and in no country did women have
the right to vote.
The
impact of this movement for women's rights awakening was seen in many countries
of the world when in Soviet Russia also women started a movement over the
demands of bread and clothes.
According
to the Julian calendar, the historic women's movement began on February 28.
According to the Gregorian calendar, it was March 8, which is why international
women's day is celebrated on March 8, not on February 28.
March
8 marks women's equal admiration and love, the first time Women's Day was
celebrated in New York, a political event.
Today,
this day is celebrated in most countries of the world. Women are generally
honored on this day. And by giving them gifts, love is expressed towards them.
Women have a unique contribution to the
creation of a nation, society. A woman is behind the success of a man. Today,
Women's Day is a unique festival to remove the wrong mindsets and respect them
towards women.
This
day does not matter much to us Indians because, in our culture, women are
always considered to be revered; every day is like Women's Day.
A
woman has a unique role to play in a nation. Today's male-dominated society of
women is feeling weak because of which women do not get enough opportunities.
The
woman is the embodiment of the goddess. Who develops love by tolerating every
situation. Today, we should reflect on women by mentally reflecting and
expressing respect and love for women.
