Background: International Women's Day (Mezinárodní den žen) in Czechia, as in many other countries, is celebrated annually on March 8th. The day has its roots in the early 20th century women's rights movement and was first observed in 1911. Initially focused on advocating for women's suffrage and better working conditions, it has evolved to celebrate women's achievements and call for gender equality.
History: In Czechoslovakia, International Women's Day became a significant celebration during the communist era. It was an official state holiday when women were celebrated and often given flowers and gifts by their male colleagues and family members. However, after the Velvet Revolution in 1989 and the subsequent dissolution of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the day lost its status as a public holiday.
