The UN celebrated its first official International Women&#8217;s Day on 8 March during International Women\u2019s Year in 1975. Two years later, in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/images\/0011\/001140\/114032e.pdf#page=135\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resolution\u00a0<\/a>proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women\u2019s Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and national traditions.<\/p>\n<p>International Women\u2019s Day first emerged from the activities of labor movements at the turn of the twentieth century across North America and Europe. The first National Woman&#8217;s Day was observed in the United States on February 28 1909, which the Socialist Party of America dedicated in honor of the 1908 garment workers&#8217; strike in New York where women protested against harsh working conditions. In 1917, women in Russia chose to protest and strike under the slogan &#8220;Bread and Peace&#8221; on the last Sunday in February (which fell on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar). Their movement ultimately led to the enactment of women\u2019s suffrage in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>International Women&#8217;s Day is an occasion to celebrate the progress made towards achieving gender equality and women&#8217;s empowerment but also to critically reflect on those accomplishments and strive for a greater momentum towards gender equality worldwide. It is a day to recognize the extraordinary acts of women and to stand together, as a united force, to advance gender equality around the world.<\/p>\n<p>SEE MORE:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.unesco.org\/commemorations\/womenday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/en.unesco.org\/commemorations\/womenday<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/gemeinsamf%C3%BCrdieguteSache\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#gemeinsamf\u00fcrdieguteSache<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/itsaboutyou\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#itsaboutYOU<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgoals.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#globalgoals<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On today&#8217;s International Women&#8217;s Day, UNESCO is focusing on\u00a0Women in management positions.
