婦女節又稱‘國際婦女節‘是世界各國婦女爭取和平、平等、發展的節日，節期在每年三月八日。下面是小編整理的關於三八婦女節的來歷，歡迎大家參考！
一個世紀以來，各國婦女為爭取到這一權利做出了不懈的努力和鬥爭。1857年3月8日，美國紐約的服裝和紡織女工舉行了一次抗議，反對非人道的工作環境，12小時工作制和低薪，遊行者被警察圍攻並趕散，兩年以後，又是在三月，這些婦女組織了第一個工會1908年3月8日，1500名婦女在紐約市遊行，要求縮短工作時間，提高勞動報酬，享有選舉權，禁止使用童工，她們提出的口號是‘麵包和玫瑰‘;麵包象徵經濟保障，玫瑰象徵較好的生活質量。五月，美國社會黨決定以二月的最後一個星期日做為國內的婦女節1910年，德國社會學家蔡特金（ClaraZetkin）建議為了紀念美國服裝工人的罷工應設定一天當‘國際婦女節‘。該建議被在哥本哈根召開的國際婦女社會學家會議接受，但並未定出具體日期1917年，俄國婦女號召在2月23日罷工以要求‘麵包和和平‘，抗議惡劣的工作環境和食物短缺。這天依據俄國使用的儒略曆是當月的最後一個星期日，摺合成歐洲廣範使用的格里高歷是3月8日1924年，中國共產黨在廣州召開了第一次‘三、八‘節紀念大會1949年，我國中央政府作出決定，將三月八日定為婦女節，該日全國婦女放假半天，舉行各種儀式的紀念，祝慶活動。
1977年12月，聯合國採納了一項決議宣告，聯合國婦女權益和和平日，在一種的某一天，服從各成員國的歷史和傳統，對聯合國而言，國際婦女節訂為3月8日，且從1975年開始南非婦女節時間有別於國際婦女節。1956年8月9日，數百名黑人婦女在比勒陀利亞舉行抗議遊行，抗議當局推行種族隔離的‘通行證法‘。新南非政府將這一天定為婦女節，以紀念南非婦女在爭取平等鬥爭中所作的貢獻，並將這一天定為全國公假日。從此，每年的.8月9日，南非各地的婦女紛紛舉行各種形式的慶祝活動，要求實現男女平等、結束黨派衝突與暴力，保證婦女生存權益和反對性騷擾與性犯罪，以消除舊南非種族隔離制度造成的根深蒂固的歧視婦女的影響
【2】三八婦女節的來歷International Women's Day （8 March） is an occasion marked by women's groups around the world。 This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday。 When women on all continents， often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic， linguistic， cultural， economic and political differences， come together to celebrate their Day， they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality， justice， peace and development。
International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries—old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men。 In ancient Greece， Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution， Parisian women calling for "liberty， equality， fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand women's suffrage。
The idea of an International Women's Day first arose at the turn of the century， which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence， booming population growth and radical ideologies。 Following is a brief chronology of the most important events：
1909
In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America， the first National Woman's Day was observed across the United States on 28 February。 Women continued to celebrate it on the last Sunday of that month through 1913。
1910
The Socialist International， meeting in Copenhagen， established a Women's Day， international in character， to honour the movement for women's rights and to assist in achieving universal suffrage for women。 The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries， which included the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament。 No fixed date was selected for the observance。
1911
As a result of the decision taken at Copenhagen the previous year， International Women's Day was marked for the first time （19 March） in Austria， Denmark， Germany and Switzerland， where more than one million women and men attended rallies。 In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office， they demanded the right to work， to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job。
Less than a week later， on 25 March， the tragic Triangle Fire in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working girls， most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants。 This event had a significant impact on labour legislation in the United States， and the working conditions leading up to the disaster were invoked during subsequent observances of International Women's Day。
1913—1914
As part of the peace movement brewing on the eve of World War I， Russian women observed their first International Women's Day on the last Sunday in February 1913。 Elsewhere in Europe， on or around 8 March of the following year， women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with their sisters。
1917
With 2 million Russian soldiers dead in the war， Russian women again chose the last Sunday in February to strike for "bread and peace"。 Political leaders opposed the timing of the strike， but the women went on anyway。 The rest is history： Four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote。 That historic Sunday fell on 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia， but on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere。
Since those early years， International Women's Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike。 The growing international women's movement， which has been strengthened by four global United Nations women's conferences， has helped make the commemoration a rallying point for coordinated efforts to demand women's rights and participation in the political and economic process。 Increasingly， International Women's Day is a time to reflect on progress made， to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of women's rights。
The Role of the United Nations
Few causes promoted by the United Nations have generated more intense and widespread support than the campaign to promote and protect the equal rights of women。 The Charter of the United Nations， signed in San Francisco in 1945， was the first international agreement to proclaim gender equality as a fundamental human right。 Since then， the Organization has helped create a historic legacy of internationally agreed strategies， standards， programmes and goals to advance the status of women worldwide。
Over the years， United Nations action for the advancement of women has taken four clear directions： promotion of legal measures; mobilization of public opinion and international action; training and research， including the compilation of gender desegregated statistics; and direct assistance to disadvantaged groups。 Today a central organizing principle of the work of the United Nations is that no enduring solution to society's most threatening social， economic and political problems can be found without the full participation， and the full empowerment， of the world's women。
