International Women’s Day

hi welcome to WatchMojo observed since
the 1900s tradition sees that men honor
their wives mothers girlfriends
colleagues etc with flowers and small
gifts in some countries International
Women’s Day has the same status as
mother’s day where children give small
gifts to their mothers and grandmothers
the new millennium has witnessed a
significant change and shift in attitude
in both women’s and society’s thoughts
about women’s equality and liberation
many from the younger generation feel
that all the battles have been won for
women while many feminists from the
1970s know only too well the insurance
and ingrained complexity of patriarchy
with more women in the boardroom greater
equality in legislative rights and an
increased critical mass of women’s
visibility as impressive role models in
every aspect of life one could think
that women have gained true equality the
unfortunate fact is that women are still
not paid equally to that of their male
counterparts women still are not present
in equal numbers in business or politics
and globally women’s education health
and the violence against them is worse
than that of men great improvements have
been made however we do have female
astronauts and prime ministers
schoolgirls are welcomed into University
women can work and have family women
have real choices and so the tone in
nature is International Women’s Day has
for the past few years move from being a
reminder about the negatives to a
celebration of the positives annually on
marje thousands of events are held
throughout the world to inspire women
and celebrate their achievements ranging
from business conferences political
rallies government activities and
networking events through to local
women’s craft markets theatrical
performances fashion parades and more so

act locally make everyday international

that the future for women is bright
