The full name of 'international working women's Day' is' United Nations women's rights and international day of peace ', which is translated as' international working women's Day' or 'international working women's Day'.

March 8, 1911 was the first international working women's day.
Although the theme of political rights and women's rights and interests has been emphasized by the United Nations, the two demands of political rights and women's interests are being narrowed and squeezed to the edge from the original meaning of the festival. In some places, the political significance of this festival is fading, becoming a simple day for men to express their love for women.
