What Is International Women’s Day and WEEK?

table(桌子来了)

Every year on March 8, millions of women and men around the world celebrate International Women’s Day.

This day is an ideal opportunity to reflect on the progress made to advance women’s equality, to assess the challenges facing women in contemporary society, to consider future steps to enhance the status of women and, of course, to celebrate the gains made in these areas.

Women on all continents often divided by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences come together to celebrate International Women’s Day. It is a celebration of ordinary women as makers of history.

Rallies, marches, fairs, receptions, shows, films and debates are held around the world to celebrate the achievements in gender equality.

When Did It Start? -table(桌子来了); 2004-3-9 {2251} (#1637483@0)
本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Toward the end of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th Century, a movement of women struggling for better working conditions and recognition of their fundamental rights, including the right to vote, emerged in North America and Europe.

A number of people believe that International Women's Day emanates from labour strikes of female textile workers on March 8, in both 1857 and 1908, to protest against poor working conditions in New York City.

Others say the first official reference to International Women’s Day can be traced to a demonstration for women’s suffrage organized by the National Association of Socialist Women. Referred to as “Women’s Day,” the demonstration took place on February 28, 1909 and had been celebrated annually in the United States on the last Sunday in February until 1913.

Inspired by the American Women’s Day, at the Second International Conference of Socialist Women held in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1910, the German socialist leader, Clara Zetkin, presented a resolution calling for the designation of an International Women’s Day to recognize women’s struggles around the world, including the fight for universal suffrage. More than 100 delegates representing 17 countries passed the resolution unanimously.

The first International Women’s Day was celebrated the next year on March 19, 1911, in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Following that, it was celebrated in other parts of the world in February or March and sporadically in North America until the end of the 1960s.

In 1977, two years after International Women’s Year, the United Nations adopted a resolution inviting countries to dedicate one day to celebrate the rights of women and international peace. March 8 became the date of recognition in many countries.

Over the course of the years, International Women’s Day evolved into an occasion to highlight the progress made, to celebrate the gains in the fight for women’s rights and to consider future steps to improve women’s equality.

The celebrations also grew and often stretched over a week, with March 8 being the highlight. This year in Canada, International Women’s Week will be celebrated from Sunday, March 7 to Saturday, March 13, 2004.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

Why the Theme For International Women’s Week 2004? -table(桌子来了); 2004-3-9 {703} (#1637486@0)
The Canadian theme for this year’s International Women’s Week is “She’s on a Role!”

Many Canadian women, from athletes to social activists, have accomplished great things in their community, country and around the world.

Some of these women receive little recognition for their efforts, yet provide shining examples for Canadians and Canadian youth in particular to follow their dreams, no matter what barriers and opposition they may face.

This year’s theme encourages Canadians to take a closer look at what has been accomplished to promote gender equality and build Canada into the country it is today, as well as celebrating the many women who continue to work towards these goals.

Too much knowledge, man!.........I can't handle. :-))) -babyface(▲▲阳光的味道▼▼); 2004-3-9 (#1637506@0)
