Why is Women’s Equality Day celebrated?

The foundation stone of any democracy is the “right to vote.”Women were given the right to vote on August 26, 1920, so this day is celebrated as Women's Equality Day in the United States of America. So, this day is declared Women’s Equality Day worldwide to recognize the power and right of women to vote. Women's Equality Day is a reminder of the struggles that women face on a daily basis. Whether it is financial, health or education, or equality in the family, women deserve equal status in all aspects. 

In the 1830s, in a country like America, only rich people, and white men had the right to vote. Women and slaves were not included in this right. After this, before the Civil War in the United States, women started a movement to get their voting rights. In 1972, President Richard Nixon issued Proclamation 4147, which designated August 26, 1972, as "Women's Rights Day". This was the first official announcement of Women's Equality Day.
