The decision to celebrate International Women’s Day was adopted at the Second International Conference (Copenhagen) of the socialist women in 1910.

The first countries celebrating this day were Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Denmark. In Russia, this day was celebrated in 1913, while in Azerbaijan in 1917.

Since that time, March 8 is the day of solidarity for peace in the world. After gaining independence, Azerbaijan celebrates March 8 as International Women’s Day.
