Well that's not true. It's just that in the ex-communist countries they made a really big deal out of this (because they canceled Mother's day - that's why this day replaced mother's day - what Yamcha said). But it is an international women's day (even Google changed it's sign - the second O was changed in the symbol for female.
But it's true, that mostly the native english speaking countries don't really know much about this day, although in commemorates the events that happened in the US (when women were trying to achieve labour equality and some of them got killed by the military).
