8 MARCH
"INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY "
A little history ...
The designation of this day as the International Women's Day not have its origins in a vacuum but that derived from an age when women start to appear and star in their struggles rights.
- 1857, New York, a time when more and more women are entering production, especially in the ra ma textile and where they were an absolute majority. The e xtenuantes days more than 12 hours for miserable wages rose at a textile mill worker who came to claim their rights. The protesters were attacked by police.
- Half a century later, in March 1908, 15,000 workers marched the same city cry of "Bread and Roses!" , synthesizing in this slogan demands for increased wages and better living conditions.
- 1908, 129 workers of a textile company in New York, organized, on strike and decided to occupy the claim made in labor rights, including: working day of 8 hours, Sunday rest, equal pay for equal work, termination of labor exploitation of children.
Given the strength of these workers and their refusal to leave the occupation, employer's response was immediate, causing a fire in the occupied factory. No worker survived. From then on, for 13 weeks, the textile workers staged a historic struggle that included repression, dismissals, starvation and arrests. But it succeeded.
In 1910, the National Congress of Socialist Women in Copenhagen, Clara Zetkin, German revolutionary, ho proposed in household to women, that is proclaimed March 8 "Fight of the Day Women to work pray World ".
In 1917, when commemorating this day in Russia, the textile workers took to the streets demanding "Bread, peace and freedom" , marking and the beginning of the greatest revolution of the twentieth century, leading to the seizure of power by the working class in October of that year.
Slowly, and as feminism has been gaining momentum worldwide, the Women's Day has lost its working-class character, becoming a day of fighting which claimed the rights of all women in all areas. Year after year, thousands of women take to the streets across the world to demand new rights, defend and conquer and fight against those laws that discriminate or reject the principle of gender equality and opportunity.
More interesting stories, we begin to visualize, value and assert our interest in history
Today we can say that they achieved many rights but by no means the battle is won. still are immersed in a society governed and organized according to male values \u200b\u200band parameters.
Today we fight for genuine ork t for everyone, equal pay for equal work, elimination of all forms of institutional and domestic violence, physical violence but also oral, free to decide about our bodies and our choice sexual trafficking in persons.
Women today expressed their willingness to participate on equal terms in areas that traditionally have been minority participation.
First we have to try to change the underlying problem, we must give a fierce fight roles and social impositions, the prejudices, stereotypes, patriarchal norms, to naturalization of injustice, leading to what the private public ...
and ask to what extent the limitations are imposed or impose to us ourselves.
We us and we decide how we want to be.
Happy day all!
This date should serve to remind the achievements of women's groups, who have worked with courage and determination for change and, above all, to advance the struggle for equality and social liberation.
