For primary school-aged youngsters, Hall suggests providing context and significance for the celebration: Today serves as a reminder that girls and women matter and have been and will continue to be an integral part of human history. We may forget this from time to time, since it might seem as if we only discuss leaders who look or behave a particular way. Are you experiencing the same thing? Bear in mind that your accomplishments are not contingent on your gender identity or presentation. According to Hall and happy parents of young feminists, here are a few ways to commemorate International Women's Day.
What do you say on International Women's Day?
It's an unique time to express your appreciation for all the ladies in your life by sending a women's day greeting to your mother, sister, teachers, woman boss, coworkers, aunt, girlfriend, friend, or wife. Recognize the strength of ladies and their capacity for multitasking in all realms of life on this day.
On March 19, 1911, Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland commemorated the inaugural International Women's Day. Over one million people joined demonstrations in support of women's suffrage, representation, education, and workers' rights. Over the following several years, the holiday was observed in an increasing number of nations across Europe. It was not until March 8, 1975, that the United Nations designated it as an official holiday during International Women's Year. Since 1975, the event has grown in popularity as a means to honor women worldwide.
International Women's Day is a national holiday in Armenia, where it is also known as the Day of Protecting Your Rights. It kicks off an unofficial Women's Month, which culminates on 7 April with the awkwardly worded Motherhood and Beauty Day. According to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's declaration for International Women's Day 2021, the country's governing party views 8 March as a moment to honor particular sorts of women: notably, servicewomen, mothers, and female relatives of military men. According to Armenian Weekly, Armenian streets are festooned with vibrant balloons and decorations on International Women's Day, while multiple public events are organized across the country's cities and villages, and flower shops are supplied with seasonally exorbitant goods. However, they are disingenuous, if not superficial, demonstrations of honor and respect in a society where women's rights are awful, if not disgusting, argues writer Rupen Janbazian.
