The history of the women’s movement began in 1857 with a protest against the 12-hour women’s day in New York. In 1910, the German socialist woman Klara Setkin managed to mark March 8 as World Women’s Day. In 1977, the UN declared this day as Women’s Day. Women’s Day is also widely celebrated in Azerbaijan. Even after Azerbaijan gained independence, March 8 – International Women’s Day – is a non-working day in the country. Today, the successful activity of Azerbaijani women in all spheres of our lives, whether in politics, economics or culture, is a confirmation of the great power of the fairer sex. Women take an active part in science and contribute to the structures in which they work. Today, as heads of institutes and large research groups, women scientists can be found in many places around the world, women inventors, women engineers, women who have signed various “firsts” are rapidly changing our lives. Today, the state women’s policy in our republic, the traditions founded by the great leader Heydar Aliyev in this direction are worthily continued by President Ilham Aliyev.
