On March 19, 1911, the first International Women’s Day was celebrated in a few European countries. At that time the issue was raised to get the right to vote and to end discrimination and demanded women’s right to work. It was in the year 1975, when the United Nations started observing International Women’s Day on March 8. Every year United Nations set a theme to appreciate this day more and this year’s theme is “think equal, build smart, innovate for change”. The reason behind this theme is to promote gender equality and empowerment of women in innovative ways.
