Women's Day

The Origins of International Women's Day
International Women's Day, celebrated annually on March 8th, has its roots in the early 20th century labor movements. The first National Woman's Day was observed in the United States on February 28, 1909, in honor of the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions. The idea to make the day international came from Clara Zetkin, a leader of the Women's Office for the Social Democratic Party in Germany. She proposed the idea at the International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen in 1910, and the first International Women's Day was celebrated in 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. The day was officially recognized by the United Nations in 1975 and has since become a global day of recognition and celebration of women's social, economic, cultural, and political achievements.

In celebration of International Women's Day, QiluVac hosted a special Tea Ceremony Event on March 7th, 2024, to honor the achievements and contributions of women in the workplace and beyond. The event, held at the Company Lounge, brought together employees for a day of relaxation, cultural enrichment, and camaraderie.

The event featured a traditional tea ceremony led by a renowned tea master, who demonstrated the art of tea preparation and shared fascinating insights into the history and cultural significance of tea. Attendees had the opportunity to participate in an interactive tea tasting session, sampling a variety of exquisite teas from different regions, each with its unique flavor profile and story.

The Tea Ceremony Event was met with enthusiastic participation and positive feedback from attendees, highlighting the importance of recognizing and celebrating the achievements of women. QiluVac remains committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, and the empowerment of women in all aspects of its operations.
