Happy Women's Day! But Is It Really Necessary?

There are days which are meant to raise awareness like World Aids Day or TB Day or days which commemorate certain events in history like the Republic Day, the Independence Day. But one such Day that we have been celebrating since 1909 is the International Women's Day and I cannot fathom why.
