Today is International Women's Day which celebrates the advancements made in human rights and sheds light on the challenges women still face in the workplace, education, politics and daily life.
The movement dates back to March 8, 1857 when workers in a garment factory in New York City protested against unsafe work conditions and low wages. This initial protest led to the formation of the first women's labor union. Check out the link below:
