Theme:
Women and Men United to End Violence
Against Women and Girls
In 1975, during International Women's Year, the United Nations began
celebrating 8 March as International Women's Day. Two years later, in
December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United
Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace to be observed on any
day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and
national traditions. For the United Nations,
International Women's Day has been observed on 8
March since 1975. The Day is traditionally marked with a message
from the Secretary-General. |
