Women's Equality Day is celebrated on August 26 each year in the United States. This day commemorates the certification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the importance of women's rights in society.
The day encourages reflection on the progress made and the challenges that still exist in achieving full equality for women. Various events, including rallies and educational programs, are held to promote awareness and inspire action towards gender equality in all aspects of life.
