Happy Womens Day

The first international women’s day was founded in 1911.

It was then proposed, that every year, in every country there should be a celebration on the same day chosen day, that is 8th March.

The new millennium has "witnessed a significant change and attitudinized shift" in women and in general the society itself. Many from the younger generation woman hence feel today that "all battles have been won for women".

The unfortunate fact is that women are still not paid equal to their counterparts. Women are still not present in business or politics as much as they should be and on a global level, women’s education, health and participation is far worse than men.

However, noteworthy acheivements are that we do have female astronauts, film directors, pilots and prime ministers.

Women finally do have choices to make in the twenty-first century. Women can work and have a family too.

To sum up, last few years, international women’s day has moved from being a reminder of negatives to finally a celebration of positives. This is quite an achievement for Woman.

For me, international women’s day is to appreciate those who have had the largest and quietest of influence in everyones life.

Three cheers to all Women.

Happy Women’s day to my mom, all my teachers, akkas, shobhas, ashas, vidyas, erickas, annas, susans and all the women of the world.

We have all come quite far indeed.
