Women's Day is celebrated around the world every year on 8 March. Since 1911,
International Women’s Day has served to progress the movement for women’s rights
and to advance the status and empowerment of women worldwide, it is a day when
women are recognized for their achievements without regards to divisions,
whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political.
So today I'm going to talk about women's day in Granada, to be honest,
it's the first time that I participate in such manifestation. About thousands
of people were there of course not only women but also men. This manifestation
was well prepared, they started from 8:30h in the morning preparing the banners
etc...So at 18h we all met in Gran Via. by the way all the women doesn't work
on 8 March in Granada, i didn't expect to find that huge people.
The objective of Women’s Day is to express love and
gratitude towards women’s’ contribution to our lives and society. It honors
the power and struggles of women who have broken all barriers and reached the
pinnacle of success in every sphere of life. Today, women across the globe
actively participate in politics, education, social work, corporate, sports,
IT, research & development, innovation and diverse fields, and have left
their footprints.
Several resolutions to protect women’s rights have also been passed
globally, which has opened up broader avenues for the growth and development of
women in our society. Women’s Day also celebrates the role of women as a
daughter, a wife, a mother, a sister and a homemaker. The day honours the
voices that go unheard, the rights that are dominated and the tears that go unnoticed.
Even today, there are millions of women around the world who are either
speechless or are struggling hard to secure their rights. The discrimination
and inequality is still every prominent, especially in developing and backward
countries.
Despite all pessimism, International Women’s Day is a special day
dedicated only to women and their role in our lives. Culture and ethnicity has
given a new dimension to this day where the tradition of gifting presents to
women is popular in some countries. Personalised gifts and greeting cards dedicated
to Women’s Day have become exceptionally popular today. Many people think it is
the ideal way to express their love and gratitude for women in life. Though,
the true essence of the day lies in identifying the rights and power of women
and giving them a stature that they deserve.
