For over a century, people worldwide mark 8 Mars as a special day for the woman.
Genesis on this day dates back to 1908, when over 15,000 women have marched through New York City to demand shorter hours of work, better salaries, and the right to vote.
It was the American Socialist Party that declared women's National Day a year later.
The idea to make it an international day came from a woman named Clara Zatkin in 1910 at an International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen.
It was first celebrated in 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland.
Things were formalized in 1975 when the United Nations began to mark March 8.
Today, women's rights are still left to be desired in many parts of the world.
Kosovo, for example, has the lowest level of female employment in the Western Balkan region.
But some of them have rare professions, usually considered “men's work”.
