Woman International Day

 History

-International woman Days came about due to several historical events. It is the representative culmination of both the long public struggle for women's rights and the more private struggle waged every day by woman who have made the celebration of this day possible.

Over the years, International Woman's Day has taken to the streets, sparked off a revolution, met cosily at luncheons and concerts, rubbed shoulders with Premiers, Prime Minister and Mayors, demonstrated at the doors of newspaper and welfare institutions, occupied empty houses intent on gaining shelter for homeless woman and has ushered in reform legislation.

Inequality

- Inequality between men and women results in lost opportunities and prevents mutual gain. In general discrimination.

Diverts resources from women's activities, sometimes in favour less productive investment.

Rewards men, but also some woman, blinding them to productive alternatives

Obstructs social as well as economic participation and closes off possible partnership.

Reduces woman's effectiveness by failing to support then in their responsibilities, challenges and burdens.
