Women's Day Origin:
First of all, on March 8, 1857, a march was held by the Textile Girls in New York, USA, to oppose the dirty and messy working conditions and the 12-hour work system, but this time ** did not cause a political sensation. On March 8, 1908, 15,000 women marched in New York, with the slogan "Bread and Roses" bread symbolizes economic security, and roses symbolize romance and a beautiful quality of life. The demand for shorter working hours, a ban on child labor, higher wages, and the right to vote was so popular that the Socialist Party of America decided to make the last Sunday of February the last Sunday of the country Women's Day.
International Women's Day:
The establishment of Women's Day coincided with the birth of the women's liberation movement, whose slogan was "equal rights, equal opportunities, common progress" Women make up half of the world's population, but they have had a sad fate in society and politics for thousands of years, and at the end of the 19th century, with the continuous development of workers, enlightened women raised the banner of fighting for women's equal rights.
In 1910, the Second International Socialist Women's Congress was held in Denmark, and 17 countries unanimously agreed to the initiative put forward by Zetkin and others: March 8 of each year was made the international holiday of working women, and it was thus the birth of Women's Day.
