women's day commemorates the achievements of women and their existence in
general. International women's day is a time to celebrate progress towards
gender equality and women's empowerment. It's a day to celebrate women's
outstanding achievements and to unite as a force to advance gender equality
throughout the world. Furthermore, society benefits when women are treated with
respect and are not treated as second class citizens. Women used to be limited
in their houses and were not allowed to leave the house for employment.

At the end she gave a quote for the day is "Behind every successful woman is a tribe of
other successful women who have her back''
