AKateisaKate Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I didn't know it's actually celebrated in few countries, and hardly recognized in the rest of the world. Here's some nice facts. http://www.internationalwomensday.com/about.asp Anyway: I was searching Google Images, and there are lots of flyers etc. for parties, luncheons, etc. that people have on this holiday in some countries.

And not only becaose the girls were mostly Italian or Hebrew. But some women even nowadays work in horrible conditions for funny salaries, for example those in the chinese textile or other factories.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annabelle Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 On the 8. of March in 1908. there's been a demonstration in New York. 15 000 working women went on streets and demanded to have equal rights as men, to have a right to vote, and 8-houres working time, per day (they use to work much longer than 8 houres). In 1910. the 8. of March was declared as International day of women's rights! That's what happened!!!I tought it's celebrated everywhere in the world...I mean...it should be!!! Guess I was wrong... I also thought that they celebrate this all around the world. That's why it comes as a surprise that so many haven't heard of it yet. I know that this holiday had always been well appreciated and celebrated in former Yugoslavia, right? After I saw this movie (which title I of course forgot, how typically me) about how women had to fight to get their right to vote I'm really angry with any woman out there who doesn't use that right (and then probably complains about it) . Anyway, we (still) celebrate this in Slovenia, and women usually get a flower and/or choclate. Yesterday when we went out to eat every girl at our table got one carnation. Happy women's day, my ladies. It's great to be a woman, isnt' it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackViolet Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Mimosa flowers are traditionally given in Russia, too. I love them. It's funny how this is something that happened in America, and yet America is not a country that celebrates this holiday. But America is really not very good with political holidays that have to do with worker's rights at all. International Worker's Day, celebrated on May 1st, began as a holiday to commemorate the Chicago Haymarket Riots, and all who lost their lives there (also protesting working conditions and lobbying for an 8-hour workday). It became an international holiday celebrated in all sorts of countries. But not in America. Too "communist/socialist/anarchist." Labor Day became the preferred holiday in America because its date was so distant from the May protests, because the government did not want a holiday that commemorated "socialist" riots. Even so, Labor Day's been depoliticized... most people seem not to know what it means anyway. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
