It’s difficult to exactly say when the IWD — as it’s known — began. Its roots can be traced to 1908, when 15 000 women marched through New York City demanding voting rights, better pay and shorter working hours.

In 1910, a woman called Clara Zetkin — leader of the ‘women’s office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany — tabled the idea of an International Women’s Day.
