Every year on March 8th, people across the world commemorate International Working Women’s Day (IWWD), often celebrated as a general day of appreciation for women’s achievements.

But the truth is that IWWD is deeply rooted in the communist and socialist movements, born from the struggles of working women fighting against exploitation, patriarchy, and capitalism.
