International Women's Day is celebrated annually on March 8th to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and to raise awareness about the ongoing struggles women face for gender equality and women's rights around the world. The day was first observed in 1911 and has since become a global celebration with events, marches, and rallies taking place in countries worldwide. The theme for International Women's Day 2023 is "Women's Rights are Human Rights: Equality Now".

The impact of women in society is significant and diverse. Women make up approximately half of the world's population and their contributions to all aspects of society are essential for its growth and development. Here are some ways in which women have impacted society:

Political Representation: Women have been fighting for their rights to be politically represented for many years. Today, women are breaking barriers and entering political spheres, which was once dominated by men. The more women are politically represented, the more diverse and inclusive decisions are made for the betterment of the society.

Economic Empowerment: Women are an integral part of the global economy. They make up a significant proportion of the workforce and contribute to the economy as entrepreneurs, business owners, and employees. The economic empowerment of women has a positive impact on society by reducing poverty and increasing economic growth.

Education: Women's education is essential for the development of society. Educated women have more opportunities to contribute to their communities and make informed decisions that impact society's development positively.

Health: Women play a critical role in ensuring the health and wellbeing of their families and communities. They are often primary caregivers, ensuring the health and wellbeing of their children and family members.

Social Change: Women are often the driving force behind social change. They have played a significant role in advocating for women's rights, gender equality, and social justice issues, leading to significant societal changes.

Overall, women's impact on society is immense, and their contributions are essential for the betterment of society as a whole.
