New Delhi, March 6 -- Each year the International Women's Day is observed every year on March 8 to recognise, celebrate and honour women globally. This year too, the International Women's Day is being celebrated.

The first Women's Day was observed in the United States on February 28, 1909, inspired by labour movements advocating for women's rights. The United Nations officially recognised March 8 as International Women's Day in 1975, solidifying its global significance.

Emphasizing the urgent need for gender equality, the theme for 2025 International Women's Day is 'Accelerate Action.'

According to data from the World Economic Forum, at the current pace, full gender equality might not be achieved until 2158.
