INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
8 March was declared International Women’s Day by the UN in 1975.
We have to go back a few years, to 1917, to find the origins of International Women’s Day. That year, on 8 March, Russian women went on strike asking for bread and peace. Four days later the ‘Tsarr’ abdicated and women gained the right to vote.
Today, it is a day that is celebrated all over the world. Many women go on strike on this day and there are huge demonstrations demanding women’s rights in every city and town.
