At the beginning of the 20th century, with the development of the Industrial Revolution, many women gradually came out of their families to work in factories. However, their rights and interests at work were not fully protected, such as low wages, long working hours and lack of safety.

With the time these contradictions also broke out one after another, in 1908, the United States, New York women workers took to the streets, calling on people to face up to the status of women, to protect the status and rights of women. Demanding shorter working hours, higher wages and the right to vote, this was the earliest awakening of women's consciousness.

The following year, the theme of the second American Women's Day was the demand to give women the right to vote. It also called for the further promotion of gender equality and the creation of a fairer development environment for women.

In 1910, the Second International Socialist Women's Congress was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, and adopted March 8 as International Working Women's Day. 1911, working women in the United States, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland and other countries held their first commemorative activities for the International Working Women's Day.

In 1977, the 32nd General Assembly of the United Nations formally decided to designate March 8 as the United Nations Day for Women's Rights and the International Day of Peace.

Since its inception, International Women's Day has broken new ground for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women's movement, strengthened by the four United Nations global conferences on women, has made the observance of International Women's Day a rallying cry for women's rights and women's participation in political and economic affairs.

Since then, all sectors of society have been paying more and more attention to the status of women and women's rights.

In China, governments, enterprises, institutions and social organizations around the world are taking active action to celebrate Women's Day through various forms. Many enterprises also express their care for female employees through practical actions. For example, on Women's Day, they set up benefits for women such as giving small gifts and red packets and taking a vacation.
