On every March 8, International Women's Day, we should learn from and draw inspiration from the accomplishments of women's radicalized by industrialization in the development and expansion that came to pass in the twentieth century, when a period of worldwide population expansion, uncertainty, as well as turmoil, occurred.
There was widespread social turmoil among women, with plenty of division, disagreement, and disagreement about how to change things. More and more women are becoming involved in fighting for reform, as a result of their sense of being oppressed and unequally treated. Then on August 30,000 women marched through New York to protest for fewer hours and fair wages in order to vote in the movement that was called for in the year of 1908.
in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the time of the 2nd International Conference of Working Women's Clubs, a Second International Working Woman's Congress was convened in 1910. a woman from the Women's Bureau (or 'Women's) office presented the notion of International Women's Day with Clara Zetkin (a leader of the German Social Democratic (or more broadly, liberal) Party (or GesInida (or, IWPD) in German) She said that every year that there should be a single-nation-wide campaign to highlight their concerns and efforts on the same day, International Women's Day - for the world to put it. In the one hand, it was well received by over 100 representatives of trade unions, political organizations, working woman's clubs, as included the first three women elected to parliament, as well as communist parties, all over the world, socialist, and working women's groups; nevertheless, the conference became known as a result of Zkin's proposal as Finland had the largest group of attendees ever, and it was celebrated on the international day for having met its objectives.
Following the decision of the signing of the UN Copenhagen Convention in Denmark in 1911, the celebration of International Women's Day first took place in Germany, Denmark, and then in the three other countries on March 19, as well. more than one million people who identify as women and men were present at the IWD protests to press for women's right to be given the ability to have a job, to vote, and to be able to hold public office the city of Newark was dealt a crushing blow less than a week later on March 25, when it lost more than 140 working women, almost all of them from the immigrant and Jewish populations, to the "Triangle Fire" disaster As a result of this disaster, the interest of people and efforts dedicated to bettering the lives of women focused heavily on working conditions and labor laws became widely known throughout the country. There was a women's Bread and Roses strike in 1911 as well.
Russian women celebrated their country's first world peace day, which was held on the eve of World War I on the previous day, on February 23, which was the shortest day of the month. During talks, it was decided that March 8th will be designated as an annual global holiday on the anniversary of the international women's day that corresponds to their inception of March 23rd Gregorian calendar date on February 23rd, with this day as the primary focus. Furthermore, women across Europe mobilized and took to the streets in 1914 to demonstrate their unity during the Great War (against the war and for equal rights) When Londoners marched from Bow to Trafalgar to advocate for the vote, on the day 8th of their movement's anniversary, on March 8, in 1914, for female suffrage, it occurred. It was on her way to give a lecture in Trafalgar Square that she was picked up by the police in front of Charing Cross.
In the Russian tradition, the 2nd of February is Shrove Sunday, known as the "Svesda," is dedicated to remembering and advocating for the millions of Russian soldiers who perished in World War One as the day of Bread and Peace, so it was the last Sunday of the month chosen as the appropriate time for a strike day for women to remember them. Politicians opposed the women's demand for the vote for four days after the abdication of the Czar had been required, however, the pressure being what it was, on the provisional government, the vote was ultimately given to them. the day used as the beginning of the new year in the Julian calendar when Russia started the women's strike commenced on February 23rd. (This) was an anomalous day on the Gregorian calendar since it fell on different dates in different locations on the planet.
In 1975, the UN decided to designate an annual International Women's Day and started celebrating it on March 8th. In a bid to protect their traditional freedoms, the Member States unanimously adopted a UN resolution proclaiming that every day of the year could be chosen for the UN's Wold Day, regardless of when a state had its own particular traditions to recognize.
This year, the UN has declared their first annual theme to be "Celebrating the Past, Planning for the Future". In 1997, the organization celebrated with the theme "Free of Violence to Women", and in 1998 they published a pamphlet titled "World Free of Violence" while also "Women and Gender". In 1999, they released a document with the theme "the World is without violence on Women and Gender" and freedom from discrimination, which was completed in subsequent years.
It had become increasingly difficult to think of something different for International Women's Day to do by the new millennium. As you can see, the society has progressed in many ways, women's rights are rarely in the news. In order to restore the significance of a day like International Women's Day, respect must be shown to all women and the public must be made aware of it. There was an immediate need to-to-do that needed to be done: wars had not been fought, and gender equality had not been attained.
The internationalwomensday.com website was created with the clear goal of re-energizing the day - a focus that continues to this day - by highlighting and making tangible women's accomplishments while maintaining the call for gender justice. The website, which offers helpful advice and information, has an annual campaign theme that is applicable to groups and organizations all over the world. The campaign theme, which is one of many around the world, serves as a template and guide for annual IWD activities, taking into account both the celebration and the call to action for gender equality. #ChooseToChallenge, #EachforEqual, #BalanceforBetter, #PressforProgress, #BeBoldforChange, #PledgeforParity, #MakeItHappen, #TheGenderAgenda, and others have been campaign slogans in the past. Each year, a variety of stakeholders collaborate to create campaign themes for the global IWD website, which are then widely adopted around the world. The IWD website also acts as a major fundraising platform for charities, with a six-figure amount collected in 2020, with 100% of donations going to charity. Since 2007, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) has been the IWD website's Charities of Choice, and since 2017, Catalyst Inc., a national working women's organization, has been. IWD's voluntary fundraising will be opened up to more registered charities around the world in 2021.
International Women's Day celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011, with the first celebrations taking place in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland exactly 100 years ago. President Barack Obama declared March 2011 to be "Women's History Month" in the United States, encouraging Americans to commemorate International Women's Day by focusing on "the exceptional contributions of women" in shaping the country's history. The "100 Women Initiative: Empowering Women and Girls Through International Exchanges" was introduced by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Celebrity activist Annie Lennox led a march through one of London's famous bridges to raise awareness and money for the global charity Women for Women International in the United Kingdom. Other organizations, such as Oxfam, have participated in IWD activities in large numbers. The day is strongly supported by a number of celebrities and business leaders.
In both women's and society's attitudes toward women's liberation and emancipation, there has been a noticeable change and attitudinal shift. Many younger feminists believe that 'all the fights have been won for women,' while many feminists from the 1970s are well aware of patriarchy's persistence and entrenched ambiguity. One may believe that women have achieved true equality with more women in the boardroom, greater equality in statutory rights, and an expanded critical mass of women's exposure as inspiring role models in all aspects of life. The sad reality is that women are still not paid similarly to their male counterparts, that women are still underrepresented in business and politics, and that women's education, health, and abuse are all worse than men's. However, significant progress has been achieved. We have female astronauts and prime ministers, schoolgirls are accepted into universities, women can work and raise a family, and women have real options. As a result, every year the world inspires and honors women's accomplishments. Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, China (for women only), Cuba, Georgia, Guinea-Bissau, Eritrea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Madagascar (for women only), Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Nepal (for women only), Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Zambia are among the countries that observe IWD. Men honor their mothers, wives, girlfriends, coworkers, and other women with flowers and small presents, according to custom. In certain nations, International Women's Day is celebrated in the same way as Mother's Day, with children giving small gifts to their mothers and grandmothers.
From political rallies, industry conferences, government activities, and networking events to local women's craft markets, theatre shows, and fashion parades, a global web of rich and diverse local interaction links women from all over the world. Many multinational companies participate in IWD by hosting activities and campaigns of their own. Google, for example, often updates the Google Doodle on its global search pages on March 8 to celebrate International Women's Day. Year after year, International Women's Day grows in importance.
