women played a crucial role in both
developed and developing nations in our society, Key contributors to global
economies. We think that one woman can change many things, but many women
together can change everything.
Women's Day on 8th March doesn’t just means
there are lots of discount for shopping womens
clothes, women make up, women’s product or even a gift. It’s an opportunity
to remember and honor all the ways women make a difference in our families and
society.
Women around the world continue to struggle
for equality, in education, health care, economic opportunities, and political
participation.
Women's Day has a very real meaning. For
women everywhere in the world who continue to face discrimination from those in
power, who are the victims of violence, and who are taught by society from the
day they are born that they are inferior to others, it is a reminder that they
matter. That their voices are important. That they have the right to be heard,
despite what their governments, society, or families tell them.
For me, International Women's Day is a time
to celebrate the important accomplishments and contributions of women. And It's
going to take a sisterhood of women coming together, across borders and divides.
International Women's Day is a call to sisterhood, to stand with those still
fighting for their rights, to support each other through the hard times and
working together to make life better for each other and children.
in 1910 a second International Conference
of Working Women was held in Copenhagen. A woman named a Clara Zetkin (Leader
of the 'Women's Office' for the Social Democratic Party in Germany) tabled the
idea of an International Women's Day. She proposed that every year in every
country there should be a celebration on the same day - a Women's Day - to
press for their demands. The conference of over 100 women from 17 countries,
representing unions, socialist parties, working women's clubs, and including
the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament, greeted Zetkin's
suggestion with unanimous approval and thus International Women's Day was the
result. International Women's Day is a time to celebrate the important
accomplishments and contributions of women such as these.
To honor this day, on 8th March, to pause
and remember how far we have come since the first International Women's Day 101
years ago, also to remember how far we still have to go.
