This year marked the centennial anniversary for International Women's Day. Over 100 countries participated in events held around the world on March 8th. Though a few countries treat the day as an equivalent to Mother's Day, it was originally created as a day to promote the social and political rights of women. Most countries still use the day for its original intention.
