Some women shared stories of instances when they were treated unfairly just because of their gender. Also, users encouraged women to continue to be steadfast in their quest for gender equality.
As a woman, I've experienced gender bias and I know it's little compared to what millions of other women experience daily. Today let's all take a step to break the bias.

Clara (Eibner) Zetkina, a German is said to have proposed the idea of an International Women's Day in 1910.
Her restless defence of women's working rights, according to the Migrant Labour General Workers Union International (MLGWUI), made it possible for International Women's Day to be accepted by the United Nations.
