International Women’s Day is celebrated around the world. But do you know exactly what International Women’s Day is? According to the UN, International Women’s Day in celebration of the achievements of women globally and calls for gender equality. Observed since the 1900s, it reportedly started in 1909 as National Woman's Day, thanks to the Socialist Party of America, which “designated this day in honor of the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions.

In 1910, The Socialist International met in Copenhagen and established a Women’s Day, which honored the women’s rights movement, and built support for voting rights for women. Following that meeting, which was attended by women from all over the world, International Women's Day was marked for the first time on March 19 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland in 1911. Women went on to hold rallies in 1914 on March 8 to protest World War 1 and stand in solidarity with other activists.

Since Denmark is one of the countries that first celebrate International Woman’s Day there are many celebration and events towards this issue. This year theme is #Metoo demonstration. Arranged by the Aldridge din skyld ('Never Your Fault') network against rape and rape culture, the main theme for the demonstration is the #MeToo movement which gained international momentum in the wake of last year's Harvey Weinstein scandal.

Speakers at the event include Red-Green Alliance (Enhedslisten) MP and political spokesperson Pernille Skipper, Maria Vicki Lindbaum of the Everyday Sexism Project Denmark and Muneeza Rosendahl of feminist political party Feminist Initiative.
Moreover, there are any other events like Christiansborg Palace, who also has a special event to mark the occasion. The palace, seat of the Danish parliament and former royal residence, is offering a one-off tour featuring important women in Danish history connected to the palace, including Leonora Christine, daughter of King Christian IV, and Caroline Matilda of Great Britain.
