International Women's Day

International Women's Day



























Oakham Town Councillor Sally Anne Wadsworth the only woman at Oakham
Town Council that deserves celebrating.


International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8 every year It commemorates the movement for women's rights.

While the first observance of a Women's Day was held on February 28, 1909 in New York, March 8 was suggested by the 1910 International Woman's Conference to become an "International Woman's Day." After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917, March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then predominantly celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted in 1975 by the United Nations.
