The article traces the origins and significance of International Women's Day, beginning with the first celebration in New York City in 1909 and the widespread women's strike in Petrograd in 1917, which called for 'Bread and Peace' in the context of World War I. Rather than being a day of celebration, March 8 serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for women's rights and equality. Presently, against the backdrop of war in Iran, these rights are increasingly jeopardized, as highlighted by the tragic bombing of a girls' school in southern Iran, which resulted in the deaths of 168 schoolgirls due to attacks attributed to the U.S. and Israel, challenging international humanitarian law.
