International Women's Day

Today men and women are treated differently in their lives. Women are limited by being women and that’s why we live in an unequal world. Therefore, we need the international women’s day. A day that we use to bring awareness to the discrimination of the female sex. It is important to know that the international women’s day is not a day we celebrate, it is a day to observe injustice and try to change the world. None of us should be satisfied with the change until the day when every woman is seen as an equal by everyone all around the world.

The thought of international women’s day was created in the beginning of the 20th century through the labour movement and the women movement. It was a time when women did not have the possibility to vote and change the society. That requirement was something that people fought for.

In 1977 the United Nations, decided to introduce the international women’s day on March the 8. The next year when this day comes, I recommend you look up if there are any local demonstrations in your neighbourhood. If there aren’t, start one yourself. We can all make a change!
