Brief introduction to the origin of International Women's Day

In 1869, John Stuart Mill was the first to speak in Congress and argue that women should have the right to vote. On September 13, 1893, New Zealand became the first country in the world where women were given the right to vote. For a long time, women in many other countries have not been able to enjoy this kind of fairness and right to participate in elections. In 1910, the Second International Conference on Working Women was held in Copenhagen. A woman named Clara Zetkin (chair of the Women's Office of the Social National Party in Germany) submitted a motion on International Women's Day. She proposed that every country should celebrate Women's Day on a certain day every year to express their demands. More than 100 women from 17 countries around the world attended the conference. They were from trade unions, social parties, women's clubs, including three women elected to the Finnish Parliament, and they unanimously adopted International Women's Day. Clara Zetkin, the famous German socialist revolutionary and outstanding communist fighter who led the conference, proposed to designate March 8 of each year as the World Women's Struggle Day, which was unanimously supported by the delegates. From then on, March 8th Women's Day has become a festival for women around the world to fight for their rights and liberation.

Is there a holiday on Women’s Day in 2019?

According to Article 3 of the "National Holiday and Memorial Day Holiday Regulations" (State Council Order No. 270) issued by the State Council: Women's Day (March 8) is a holiday and memorial day for some citizens, and women have a half-day holiday. International Women's Day is a legal holiday for some citizens, but those who work normally do not receive the same overtime pay as all citizens do on legal holidays. Out of considerations of fairness and rationality as well as to motivate employees, in practice most companies will generally make their own regulations to give overtime pay or compensatory leave to employees who work that day.
