The film explores why and how March 8 became International Women's Day, how it emerged in the Armenian context, and the transformations it has undergone from the Soviet era to the present. The disconnect between the form and substance of March 8 highlights that the day represents an ongoing struggle. It serves as a reminder to remain vigilant, ensuring that its true meaning is not lost in mere formalities. The film’s development was initiated by UNFPA and produced by Altera within the “ATHENA: Advancing the Human Rights Agenda and Enhancing National Authorities” project: Project is co-funded by the European Union and is implemented by UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF.
