Making her-story!. International Women's Day

Today isn't just another day; it's a statement. Happy International Women's Day, everyone! It's a global celebration of resilience, rights and remarkable women. First observed in the early 1900s, the day traces its roots to labour movements led by women fighting for better pay, improved working conditions and voting rights. Today's image features the Fearless Girl, boldly facing the New York Stock Exchange in the United States. Unveiled in 2017, the statue was commissioned to highlight the lack of women in corporate leadership roles. With her fists on her hips, head held high and a confident stance, she symbolises female empowerment.

The Nari Shakti Puraskar, India's highest civilian award for women, is conferred by the President of India on International Women's Day. Originally established in 1999 as the Stree Shakti Puraskar, it changed its name and structure in 2015. In 2016, to further support women's welfare, the Ministry of Women and Child Development announced the launch of four additional one-stop crisis centres, adding to the eight already in operation. In the same year, Air India made history ahead of Women's Day by operating what it claimed to be the world's longest non-stop flight managed entirely by women.
