💜 The History of International Women’s Day | Animated Story 🎥✨

[0:00]International Women's Day takes place every year on the 8th of March. This special day is a chance to celebrate the achievements of women, as well as ways that we can all work together to make the world a better, fairer place for everyone. The first International Women's Day was held in 1911, following earlier events in the United States. At this time, many women across the world didn't have the same rights as men, such as being able to vote or work. Although things have changed since those days, there are lots of times where women are still treated badly and not given the same opportunities. This is why International Women's Day is so important, as it gives people a chance to let their voices be heard and to celebrate and challenge. This year, in 2022, the theme of International Women's Day is break the bias. What does bias mean? Well, bias is where an idea is preferred to another, and another idea doesn't get a fair chance. Gender bias is where someone of a different gender is treated unfairly. So, this year, people of all genders are being encouraged to # break the bias and make sure that people know when others are not being given the same opportunities. This International Women's Day, make sure you break the bias and celebrate the incredible achievements of women across the world.
