Today is International Women's Day. Do you know the origin
of women's international day? Check it out and kill your curiosity.
The date has come to celebrate the social, political and
economic achievements of women over the years. It was adopted by the UN and is
celebrated in several countries of the world. Women's struggles for better
conditions in all areas of life began in the nineteenth century. At the time,
inhuman working hours and gender discrimination were issues discussed by
demonstrators during the period.
On March 8, demonstrations of Russian women fighting for
women's rights began during the First World War. Over 90,000 women participated
in the occasion known as "Bread and Peace". This day became the
starting point for the selection of International Women's Day on March 8.
However, the date was only officialized in 1921.
