International Women’s Day is celebrated all over the world on 8th March identifying the achievements of women and how they contribute towards the growth of a country. With the aim to bring gender parity to society by recognizing the rights of a woman, Women’s Day focuses on those women who are deprived of basic human rights. There are many sections of society where women are not even aware of their rights and compromise for what they are told to do. The fight is for all such women who are unaware of their skills and capabilities, compromising with the rules set by the stereotypical norms of this patriarchal society.
