International women's day

The 'International Women's Day' is marked on 8 March. We also called the day as IWD. It is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women.

The first International was observed on 28 February 1909 in the United States following a declaration by the socialist party of America. The idea of having an international women's day was first put forward at the turn of the 20th century amid rapid world industrialization and economic expansion that led to protests over working conditions.


On occasion of 2009 International Women's Day the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that the specific health-care needs of women are often ignored or insufficiently taken into account in war situations.In the world’s least developed countries, many of which are at war, women are 300 times more likely to die in childbirth or from pregnancy-related complications than in developed countries, according to UNICEF. While armed conflicts and other violence affect entire communities, women are particularly at risk of rape and other forms of sexual violence. Because of poor security conditions or because they have no means of transportation, it is often impossible for women to reach a health-care facility so as to give birth safely.


I think men have to thank their wives or their mother for feed our family. Because women always work for their family. Most of women only work for their family and they did not play because they have to feed their son so that they have no time to play. Men also work for their family but they play with their friends and drink beer after their work.
