It is also known as the United Nations (UN) Day for Women's Rights and International Peace.
The origins of that day
are believed to go to 8th of March 1857, when female workers of textile industry went on strike in New York, demanding for better work conditions and higher salaries. In spring of 1908 women of New York City went on another street meeting, demanding women’s suffrage (the right of women to vote on the same terms as men).
In 1910 German communist Clara Zetkin offered to establish a special day in honor of fighting for equal rights for women. Since then women in different countries conducted meetings and went on strikes on a first week of spring to fight for their rights – to be treated equally, to vote and to receive equal payment and work benefits. International Women’s Day was officially acknowledged by the United Nations in 1975.
I am not a historian; therefore I was a bit confused by the different stories about the origins of the International Women’s Day and differences in the timelines, coming from the different sources. I decided to share with you the UN Women Watch piece on IWD, since that is the source I do trust.
Today I woke up and ... The sirprize was waiting for me there was preasents from my mum and from my sister! My dad were working and he didn't gave me preasent yet.
