ગઈ કાલે આંતર રાષ્ટ્રીય મહિલા દિનની ઉજવણી મહિલાઓ દ્વારા વિશ્વભરમાં કરવામાં આવી હતી. ગુજરાતમાં ધૂળેટી ના તહેવારની સાથે ગુલાલથી મહિલાઓએ પણ અહી મહિલા દિન ઉજવ્યો હતો. કપડવંજના સ્નેહલબેન જેઓ કોલેજનો અભ્યાસ કરે છે અને યુવતી તરીકે કોલેજમાં તો ખરાજ પણ કપડવંજની ધર્મસભામાં પણ કાર્યશીલ રહી મહત્વનો ફાળો આપી રહ્યા છે. યુવતી તરીકે મહિલાદિન ઉપર તેમના વિચારો અને અનુભવ માટે વીડિઓ ઉપર ક્લિક કરશો.
International Women’s Day is annually held on March 8 to celebrate women’s achievements throughout history and across nations. It is also known as the United Nations (UN) Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace.
The first International Women’s Day occurred on March 19 in 1911. The inaugural event, which included rallies and organized meetings, was a big success in countries such as Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. The March 19 date was chosen because it commemorated the day that the Prussian king promised to introduce votes for women in 1848. The promise gave hope for equality but it was a promise that he failed to keep. The International Women’s Day date was moved to March 8 in 1913. Much progress has been made to protect and promote women’s rights in recent times. However, nowhere in the world can women claim to have all the same rights and opportunities as men, according to the UN. The majority of the world's 1.3 billion absolute poor are women. On average, women receive between 30 and 40 percent less pay than men earn for the same work. Women also continue to be victims of violence, with rape and domestic violence listed as significant causes of disability and death among women worldwide.

The UN drew global attention to women's concerns in 1975 by calling for an International Women's Year. It also convened the first conference on women in Mexico City that year. The UN General Assembly then invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day for Women's Rights and International Peace in 1977. The day aimed to help nations worldwide eliminate discrimination against women. It also focused on helping women gain full and equal participation in global development. International Men’s Day is also celebrated on November 19 each year.
