International Women\u2019s Day is celebrated in many countries around the\nworld. It is a day on which women are recognised for their achievements\nwithout regard to differences of nationality, ethnicity, language,\nculture, economy or politics.<\/p>\n
From its early years, International Women\u2019s Day has taken on a\nbroader global dimension for women in both developed and developing\ncountries. The expanding international women\u2019s movement, strengthened by\nfour global UN conferences, has helped to make the observance a focal\npoint for building support for women\u2019s rights and their participation in\npolitical and economic life.<\/p>\n
Officially recognised by the United Nations in 1977, International\nWomen\u2019s Day first emerged from labour movement activities in North\nAmerica and across Europe in the early 20th century. The International\nWomen\u2019s Day celebrated on 8 March relates to the women\u2019s movement during\nthe Russian Revolution of 1917.<\/p>\n
