March 8, 1910, was the day when women's rights were won. That's why we are celebrating it as women's day. Rights at that time were for working together and owning businesses, or homes. Equality with men, I do feel that's still at par in most cases.
Empowerment is when a woman can roam freely anywhere at anytime without any dear, just like a man. That part sadly, we have not yet fully achieved, not just in our country but in many parts of the world.
