Happy Women’s Day!!!

“When the world was created, you were created to beautify it and you have certainly done a great job because the world is smiling for you today.”

The International Women’s Day is being celebrated each year on March 8 .Various women, including political, community, and business leaders, as well as leading educators, entrepreneurs, and television personalities, are usually invited to speak at various events on the day. Such events may include seminars, conferences, luncheons, dinners or breakfasts. The messages given at these events often focus on various themes such as innovation, the portrayal of women in the media, or the importance of education and career opportunities.

Many students in schools and other educational settings participate in special lessons, debates or presentations about the importance of women in society, their influence, and issues that affect them. In some countries school children bring gifts to their female teachers and women receive small presents from friends or family members.

International Women’s Day was celebrated the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on 19 March. More than one million women and men attended the rallies campaigning for women’s rights to work, vote, be trained, to hold public office and end discrimination.

In 1913 following discussions, International Women’s Day was transferred to 8 March and this day has remained the global date for International Women’s Day ever since. In the same year, it further spread to other European countries. With each passing year International Women’s Day grew from strength to strength annually. 1975 was designated as ‘International Women’s Year’ by the United Nations. International Women’s Day is now an official holiday in Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, China (for women only), Cuba, Georgia, Guinea-Bissau, etc. The tradition sees men honouring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues, etc with flowers and small gifts.

  It’s nice to have a day to appreciate the hard work made by previous generations in the fight for gender equality. And, that’s exactly what international women’s day is all about.

Happy Women’s day! You deserve to be happy today so enjoy your day to the fullest.
