Get started with planting Seeds of Change to a Global Movement
The seeds of IWD started to sprout at the beginning in the 20th century. This was the time when women's equality was achieved. In the 8th March in 1857, a large group of women marched on the streets in protest against inadequate working conditions for the textile industry and inadequate legal protections for women working in their specific sectors of the industry. They demanded the reduction of working hours and also an appropriate and decent living wage. A few years after, on the 8th day of March, a demonstration of women working with needles was organized in opposition to child labor, conditions of work in sweatshops and also to call for women's right to vote. It was in 1910 that the eighth day of March became an official day to be recognized as International Women's Day.
The process of change is the catalyst
It was an era that IWD could be a significant factor for change. IWD offered a forum in which women could voice their opinions about issues including the right of women to vote, fair work conditions, fair pay as well as having the right to an education. It was in 1975 that IWD became a recognized issue when IWD was recognized by the United Nations officially recognized IWD that acknowledged the importance of IWD.
