Introduction

International Women's Day is celebrated throughout the world on March 8 every year. It provides an opportunity to focus upon and remember the struggle of women throughout the world. Its origin can be traced to 8th March, 1857 when women garment workers in New York demonstrated against working conditions.

International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men.

“The origin of a child is a mother, a woman… She shows a man what loving, caring and sharing is all about..”

This Year also UPVAN celebrated Women's Day. This time it was decided that UPVAN will organize this event through its member organizations in the state. It was also decided that Member Organizations organized this Event in all other districts of UP.
