Women's Day 2022: What is the story of 15 thousand women taking to the streets, which forced them to celebrate Women's Day


There is no doubt that a lot of positive changes have been seen in the status of women in the society and family as compared to earlier. From education to health, not only the condition of women has improved, but crimes like child marriage and female feticide have also reduced. Yes, it is a different matter that in spite of spreading awareness continuously, there are some people who like women not only to take care of the house but also family responsibilities are considered best for them.



Actually, this is because a section of the society says that a more educated woman never likes to make her equal or lesser boy her life partner. She not only sees strong arms and a strong bank balance but also finds it bad to respect her husband. However, the real truth is covered by all of us. This is because women like men the most, who can beat them in the matter of logic.


This is also one of the reasons why women, along with flying their dreams, are living a dignified marriage life and pregnancy at home on their own terms. international Women's Day is celebrated every year on 8 march with the aim of increasing this participation of women and making women aware of their rights. But the question is, when and from where did the celebration of this day begin?



Actually, all this matter happened in the year 1908, when 15,000 women in New York City of America took out a march on the streets to raise their voice for less hours in the job - better pay and simultaneously the right to vote. Working women demanded that their working hours should be reduced.


This is because women were earlier made to work for 10-12 hours, which was later reduced to 8 hours. This demonstration lasted for a long time, after which a year later the Socialist party of America declared this day the first National Women's Day .



Holiday

In the year 1910, a conference was organized by working women in Copenhagen, in which it was suggested to celebrate 8 march as international Women's Day every year. From this on march 8, international Women's Day started being celebrated all over the world. However, in the year 1975, this day was recognized as international Women's Day, when the United Nations asked to celebrate this special day with a theme.


Let us tell you that on the occasion of international Women's Day, women are given a holiday in many countries. The list of these countries includes Afghanistan-Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, Russia, Belarus, uganda and Ukraine.
