What's the date today?

Today is Saturday 8^th of March 2014 and it is The International Women’s Day.

It was originally called the International Working Women’s Day.

Its strategy is to promote equal rights between women and men.

The United Nations theme for this year 2014 is “Equality for Women is Progress for All”

This day is an official holiday in many countries and in others it is widely celebrated. Many events are held by women’s groups around the world: fundraising, parties, demonstrations, marches.

They want to show respect, appreciation and love towards women and also to defend women’s economic, political and social achievements.

Some people wear purple ribbons today.

There is still lots to do, but in my opinion RESPECT and EDUCATION are the words! 

Have a nice day!
