International Women's Day has deep historical roots. This day celebrates the achievements of women regardless of nationality, state borders and social differences. The idea of an official celebration was put forward in 1910 at the International Conference of Socialist Women in Copenhagen. German activist Clara Zetkin suggested celebrating Women's Solidarity Day every year to emphasize the importance of fighting for equal rights.

Before the First World War, the date of the holiday changed, but at the beginning of the 20th century it gained a strong connection with the events of March 8, 1857. On this day, workers at textile factories in New York went on strike, demanding better working conditions and equal pay. This movement led to significant changes: universities began accepting women, and the first women's trade unions began to form around the world.

Later, the struggle for women's rights gained international recognition. In 1945, the equal rights of men and women were officially enshrined in the UN Charter for the first time. Later, this provision was reflected in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which established the principle of non-discrimination based on gender. Women actively participated in the development of this document, including the First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt, who headed the editorial committee. Izvestia has prepared greetings and animated pictures on the eve of International Women's Day.

"Congratulations on March 8th,
I wish you happiness and joy!
Let spring bloom in your soul,
The sun is shining only on you!"

"May the March wind sing to you about happiness,
May the sun warm you with its smile!
March 8th is coming soon, which means
It will be a happier, warmer and brighter day!"

"Happy 8th of March!
May spring bring happiness!
Let your dreams come true,
And all good things happen!"
