About the origin, evolution and all the knowledge of Women's Day, I heard it was renamed. Tell me why.
March 8th International Women's Day is a festival for women all over the world. This date was determined in a UN resolution statement in February 1977. Although the statement emphasized that the specific date of the United Nations Women's Rights and Peace Day is subordinate to the history and traditions of member countries, the United Nations itself designated March 8 as International Women's Day, which was recognized by 1975. This statement of the United Nations has been recognized by many countries in the world, and March 8 is also a legal holiday in many countries. As for why the United Nations designated this day as International Women's Day, it is a historical evolution. 1909, according to the announcement of the American socialist party, the first international women's day was designated as the last Sunday in February in the United States until 19 13. 19 10 at the international conference on socialism held in Copenhagen, it was decided to set up a women's festival as a reward for the outstanding achievements of the women's movement. The plan was appointed by more than 65,438+000 women from 65,438+07 countries, including three women who won the right to vote in the Finnish Parliament for the first time. But the meeting didn't set a specific date. 191/year, Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland designated women's day as March19, and more than one million people attended the rally that day. In addition to demanding the right to vote and government functions, they also demand equal opportunities in work and vocational training, and demand the elimination of gender discrimination in work. Less than a week later, a tragedy happened in new york on March 25th. A fire killed more than 40 female workers in/kloc-0, most of whom were Italian and Jewish immigrants. This incident has put a lot of pressure on the American government, and the disaster caused by the bad working environment can not be ignored. The formulation of International Women's Day has been put on the agenda. In the peace movement on the eve of World War I, Russian women celebrated their first festival 19 13 on the last Sunday in February. Elsewhere in Europe, in the following years, women always held a rally around March 8 to express their determination to unite against the war. 19 17, more than two million Russian soldiers died in the war, and Russian women once again chose to strike for "bread and peace" on the last Sunday of February. Despite the government's opposition, women took to the streets. Four days later, the tsar had to abdicate, and the interim government gave women the right to vote. This historic Sunday is February 23rd in the Roman Gregorian calendar, while in the solar calendar used in other countries, it is March 8th. Generally speaking, March 8th was formed in the process of women's struggle for equality, justice, peace and development in various countries. It is precisely because of this that South Africa's International Women's Day is different from other countries in the world and is scheduled for August 9. 1On August 9, 956, hundreds of black women held a demonstration in Pretoria to protest against the "pass law" of apartheid. Later, the new South African government designated this day as Women's Day to commemorate the contribution made by South African women in the struggle for equality. In Hong Kong movies, women are called "dead bitch" and "smelly bitch". Here, "March 8" is just a synonym for "woman" and should be a neutral word in itself, so people usually add derogatory terms such as "death" and "stink". As for most mainland women, it's probably because mainland women look a little rustic in Hong Kong. These are all speculations. I am not responsible for any misunderstanding.
