Несмотря на сомнения и споры накануне Международного женского дня, этот праздник на самом деле празднуют во многих странах Мира. Вместе с российскими мужчинами в этот день поздравляют женщин в Уганде, Северной Корее, Непале, Монголии, Македонии, Лаосе, Конго, Китае, Камбодже, Гвинее-Бисау, Буркина-Фасо, Анголе. В республиках бывшего СССР 8 марта тоже нерабочий день.
Основной версией возникновения традиции отмечать 8 марта женским днем считается протест работниц фабрик и текстильной промышленности в 1857 году, названный «маршем пустых кастрюль». Женщины требовали сокращения рабочего дня (тогда они работали 16 часов против 10 часов для мужчин), увеличения заработной платы, которая была несравнимо ниже получаемой мужчинами, и улучшения условий труда.
Однако, существует мнение, что это объяснение праздника является выдумкой, придуманной в 1955 году для отделения праздника от коммунистических традиций.

Together with the Russian men that day congratulating women in Uganda, North Korea, Nepal, Mongolia, Macedonia, Laos, the Congo, China, Cambodia, Guinea-Bissau, Burkina Faso, Angola. In the former Soviet Union on March 8 a day off, too.
The main version of a tradition to celebrate Women's Day on 8 March is a protest factory worker and the textile industry in 1857, called the "march of empty pots." The women demanded shorter working hours (when they worked 16 hours vs. 10 hours for males), wage increases, which was incomparably smaller men get, and better working conditions.
However, it is believed that this explanation of the holiday is a fiction, invented in 1955 to separate the holiday from the communist tradition.
