100th International Womens day
Posted on: 07/Mar/2011 11:36:40 PM
International Women`s Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day is marked on the 8th of March every year. It is a major day of global celebration of women. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women`s economic, political and social achievements.
The World is now celebrating the 100th anniversary of ‘International Women’s Day’. It is a day when women are recognised for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. It is also the first International Women’s Day for UN Women, created by the UN General Assembly on July 2, 2010.
The official theme of International Women’s Day 2011 is “Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women”.
This year the celebration will have more glitz and gloss because it marks the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day (IWD). A hundred years ago, amidst efforts of millions of women, especially those in the west, who fought for the right to work, vote, hold public office, put an end to discrimination and who fought for equality, the custom of IWD began. The lucky women are sure to be the recipients of some of the most original and pricey gifts including the latest technology items or an overpriced bunch of red roses on this day.
