International Women's Day 2025: 15 inspiring quotes on women empowerment

Women¡¯s Day quotes: Every year, on March 8, the world celebrates International Women's Day to honour the achievements of women and raise awareness about gender equality. But have you ever wondered why this special day exists?

The origins of International Women's Day 2025 can be traced back to the early 20th century. During that time, women across different countries protested against unequal pay, poor working conditions, and the lack of voting rights. One of the most significant events took place in 1908, when around 15,000 women marched through the streets of New York City, demanding better wages, shorter working hours, and the right to vote.

In response, the first National Women's Day was observed on February 28, 1909, in the United States. Over the years, the movement spread worldwide, leading to the official establishment of International Women's Day. This occasion is celebrated globally to recognise the social, economic, cultural, and political contributions of women.
