Was not aware of this until i read it in arabic over lunch...Womens Suffrage has yielded an international womens day aimed at bringing a broader view of the struggles of women over time and today...
Note: Femicide, a.k.a Honour Killings or stonings in the middle east (yea I know..) Claim hundreds of women a year while in parts of south and central america it is just as bad...700 women were killed in Guatemala last year alone.
Im Palestine women are woken up routinely in the middle of the night
so their homes can be bulldozed to make way for settlements. If we celebrate mothers day every year with a
card then why all the violence in today's mindsets against women? 100 yrs of a day promoted to a more equal mindset between men and women and somewhere I hear big Pun Saying, you go girl...
Activists from a local women's organisation shout slogans during a protest against the Indian government to demand the acquisition of their basic rights on International Women's Day in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad March 8, 2011. International Women's Day (IWD) was honoured the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on March 19, 1911. More than one million women and men attended IWD rallies campaigning for women's rights to work, vote, be trained, to hold public office and end discrimination
