Why is 22nd february celebrated as International women\'s day? |
| Answer» International Women\'s Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women\'s Day, is celebrated on March 8 every year. The earliest celebration was held as a Socialist political event in 1909. It blended the culture of many countries primarily in Europe, especially those in the Soviet Bloc. Declared a national holiday in the Soviet Union in 1917, it spread to other nearby countries. It is now celebrated in many Eastern countries. | |
