happy women´s day
International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women's Day,
is marked on March 8 every year. In different regions the
focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect,
appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic,
political, and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the
holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe,
Russia, and the former Soviet bloc. In some regions, the day lost its political flavor,
and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way
somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the political and human
rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and
social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and
examined in a hopeful manner.
This is a day which some people celebrate by
wearing purple ribbons.
