International Women’s Day is commemorated on March 8 every year to celebrate the women who have struggled with so much throughout history and to appreciate and respect them for their courage, bravery and their having been the source of all us being in this world, in the first place. Of course, one wishes for a time when this respect and understanding is a given without the need to specify a day to teach this and reinforce it to everyone but until that happens, here’s to all the courageous heroines in our lives.
This is how the whole world celebrates the International Women’s Day:
1. Women are inspired to become role models for others
Not that they aren’t(or shouldn’t be) already.

3. There are those who believe in causes near to them and how specifying days to celebrate women won’t necessarily bring change in the long term
#OneDayIWill not have to put up with my gender being the most important thing about me.
International Woman's Day promotes sexism.
