国际妇女节起源于20世纪初北美和欧洲的工人运动。1909年3月8日，美国芝加哥女工因要求男女平等权利而举行示威游行，这被视为国际妇女节的起源。1910年8月，在丹麦哥本哈根召开的第二届国际社会主义妇女代表大会上，德国社会主义革命家、妇女运动领袖克拉拉·蔡特金提议，以每年的3月8日作为全世界劳动妇女的统一节日，得到与会代表的一致拥护。从1911年起，欧洲多国妇女在这一天举行集会，要求选举权、工作权、职业培训权和不受歧视待遇等权利。第一次世界大战期间，欧洲各国妇女举行了声势浩大的反战和平运动。1917年3月8日（俄历2月23日），俄国彼得格勒女工举行罢工和示威游行，要求"面包与和平"，揭开了俄国二月革命的序幕，最终导致沙皇专制制度的崩溃。为纪念俄国妇女的这一革命举动，1921年在莫斯科召开的第二届国际共产主义妇女代表会议正式确定每年3月8日为国际劳动妇女节。中国妇女运动的先驱者何香凝、邓颖超等于1924年在广州召开了中国第一次"三八"妇女节庆祝会。1949年12月，中华人民共和国中央人民政府政务院规定3月8日为妇女节，妇女放假半天。

International Women's Day, officially the United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace, also known as March 8th Women's Day or March 8th, is a festival established to celebrate the important contributions and great achievements of women in economic, political and social fields, observed annually on March 8th. International Women's Day is a glorious festival of unity and struggle for working women worldwide, originating from the labor movement in North America and Europe in the early 20th century. On this day, women around the world celebrate their festival in various forms, expressing concern and pursuit of gender equality and women's rights. In China, Women's Day is a legal half-day holiday, and women can enjoy half a day off. Various regions hold celebration activities, honoring outstanding women, promoting women's rights, and advocating for gender equality. Women's Day embodies respect and care for women and is an important festival for promoting gender equality and the comprehensive development of women.

International Women's Day originated from the labor movement in North America and Europe in the early 20th century. On March 8, 1909, female workers in Chicago, USA, held demonstrations demanding equal rights for men and women, which is regarded as the origin of International Women's Day. In August 1910, at the Second International Socialist Women's Conference held in Copenhagen, Denmark, Clara Zetkin, a German socialist revolutionary and women's movement leader, proposed making March 8th of each year the unified day for working women worldwide, which received unanimous support from the delegates. From 1911 onwards, women in many European countries held rallies on this day, demanding suffrage, work rights, vocational training rights, and non-discriminatory treatment. During World War I, women in European countries held massive anti-war and peace movements. On March 8, 1917 (February 23 in the Russian calendar), female workers in Petrograd, Russia, held strikes and demonstrations, demanding "bread and peace," which opened the prelude to the Russian February Revolution and eventually led to the collapse of the Tsarist autocracy. To commemorate this revolutionary act by Russian women, the Second International Communist Women's Conference held in Moscow in 1921 officially designated March 8th as International Working Women's Day. Chinese women's movement pioneers He Xiangning, Deng Yingchao and others held the first celebration of "March 8th" Women's Day in China in Guangzhou in 1924. In December 1949, the Government Administration Council of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China stipulated March 8th as Women's Day, with women having half a day off.
