International Women's Day, formerly known as International Working Women's Day, commemorates every March 8 the struggle of women for their participation in society. This date demands equality between men and women, with purple being the color that symbolizes this cause.
At the Second International Conference of Socialist Women held in Copenhagen in 1910, Clara Zetkin proposed the celebration of Working Women's Day, which was approved and began to be celebrated the following year. The first commemoration took place on March 19, 1911 in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland.
In Spain, the first celebration of International Working Women's Day took place on March 8, 1936.
In 1972, through resolution 3010 of the United Nations General Assembly, 1975 was declared the International Women's Year. In 1974, States were asked to establish, according to their historical traditions and national customs, an International Day for Women's Rights and International Peace. This day highlights gender inequality and calls for the struggle for effective equal rights for women in various areas. It is celebrated in much of the world - such as in Italy with its "Festa della Donna" - and is a public holiday in some countries. Some feminist movements maintain that it should not be a public holiday but a day of rights, due to its origin.
According to the United Nations (UN), women are globally at a disadvantage compared to men in various aspects: sustainable development indicators, gender equality, wage gap, inheritance rights (in 39 countries daughters have fewer rights than sons), human trafficking (where two thirds of the victims are women), sexual exploitation, freedom to choose a spouse, forced child marriage (which occurs every two seconds) and gender-based violence.
