International Women’s Day
“The Gender Agenda Going Momentum”
Have you ever given a thought that why is the International Women Day Celebrated for?
No? No problem. Carry on reading as it’s going to get interested ahead. Do you know when the first International Women Day came into existence? Just 101 years before. You must be thinking why is that? So listen the women did not had the same right as nowadays. They were majorly being a victim of violence, they were the main victim of poverty and lack of education, and they had no rights at all, not even a right to vote can you imagine that? The women were considered as a minority in every aspect of life than men. Don’t you think that was wrong? You’re 100% correct. These thoughts became the main reason for Women to fight for their rights when they worked as team to battle for their journey towards equality between both genders.
Where did I go on International Women Day?
8th March is the official date to celebrate this interesting day all around different nations so how come you can even imagine me sitting home and watching t.v. As a young Women myself I attended an inspiring seminar on 8th March 2013 (International Women’s Day) at Olswang, London. The building was really a beautiful piece of art though they didn’t allow us to take a photo inside (Bad luck). We were given an ID badge as security purposes and we followed staff towards the meeting room with seated brilliant and successful women who looked superb as well and not to forget few men were seated there as well. Until now you may be thinking now it’s going to be boring right? Not really!
What was exciting about the day?
It wasn’t really a meeting or a lecture. We started with a mouth-watering variety of snacks and drinks and sat on our assigned seats with other college and school students. To give a side kick to the formality among the group members they assigned each table with a challenge of building the highest tower with the marshmallows and the bamboo

    Many of the days we celebrate over each year are days where society was changed by someones actions. We usually name that day after that person and do a memorial of their achievements, and celebrate their accomplishments. There are several people we acknowledge annually, but there are few that we overlook; If there is anyone in our history that should deserve their own holiday, it would be Elizabeth Blackwell. She stood for equality and the betterment of women in the 1800's when women were seen as lesser beings than men. She took a huge leap towards medicine, and became the first woman ever to graduate from a medical college and obtain a medical degree. She then started a new age, where women were able to go to school for medicine and also obtain their degrees; making them equal to the modern men of that time. She not only took the first step as the female race towards a better education, but helped it ti prosper by building a school, and medical center for women and children. But first, her beginning; Elizabeth was born on February 3rd, 1821 in Fristol England. Her family moved from England to the United States in 1832, when she was 11 years old. Her father's death enforced her decision to open up a school alongside her mother, and sister in 1838. After a few years of teaching in her school, Blackwell decided to study medicine and become a doctor. She studied independently under a doctor for a little over a year before she was accepted into the Geneva Medical College in upstate New York in 1847. Her acceptance created an up rage with the educational community. Not only was she discriminated against because she was a women, but she was doubted by more then half of her peers to succeed. Though through it all she graduated with a medical degree in 1849. Elizabeth then returned to London, and then to Paris to practice medicine under her new degree. She gained experience, and learned some hands-on trade before she came back to the United…

    The society today is not one that lends itself to the topic of a woman 's menstruation; quite frankly it is revered as taboo. A woman 's Menstruation (her period) is seen by males as an obstacle and is considered very dirty sexually. The menstrual cycle as perceived by males transcends the sexes and is also shared by women themselves, the monthly burden. Women were thought from they were children that they are frail, hence limiting what they can do, whereas, males are thought how to be tough and that there is nothing a man cannot do. This methodology in child raring is where gender distinctions start. Males are raised to be superior to females and females are raised to complement male not to compete with them. With this in mind it is clear that…

    As constantly seen throughout history, women have been battling and questioning society’s standard so they can be seen as individuals rather than a lesser being in comparison to men. These civil liberties of owning property and having the right to vote prolongs further than that. Women want to be seen in the same degree as men when it comes down having an education, a place in office, being in a predominantly male workforce, and the right to manage their reproductive lives. The fight for women's rights even extends to modern day with the rise of feminism and the demand that men and women should be considered equal in any social, political, and economic entities.…

    Women have fought for equality in a world that is mostly dominated by men. They weren’t allowed in political debates they were always seen as the ‘house wives’ and whenever they did take action it was allow halted by men .The title itself gives to me the idea that men special involved with traditional values and they didn’t want anything to be changed. While the women wanted to move forward and seek changes in their society. The author, Perry, gives us her critique on what she was able to find in women during the progressive era. She also gives four suggestion that historians should take when discussing the progressive era.…

    In the past women have had the minority of legal rights, being unable to vote or cast political views. They were inferior to men and considered to be objects. In the 18th and 19th century women were simply meant to raise their children and do chores around the house. In the past 100 years women’s rights have changed a lot. Their first major step in becoming more like actual human beings was in the 1920’s when a group of five powerful women changed the identity of women forever. But I’m not here to talk about that amazing story, I’m here to talk about their rights, right now in the present. Many of you may think that this is no longer an issue but unfortunately that is not the case.…

    If it was not for the women’s movements, the rights that women have today might not be so. It has taken 162 years from the present time, 2010, to when the fight for women rights began in 1848 (Imbornoni, Time Line 1, 2009). Much has happened in this long time frame and changes are still occurring today. To show how women have worked for the rights they have now, in all aspects, the workforce still needs much revision to make it equal for both men and women. This all began in 1848 at the first women’s convention was held (Imbornoni, Time Line 1, 2009).…

    Today is international communist women’s day, the international day for working women. Today is a holiday in honor of one-half of the international proletarian army and in honor of the women workers of the socialist Soviet Union. In our country, governed by the power of the proletariat, the day of the woman worker has been consciously designated as a political and cultural “great day.” And outside the Soviet borders, in places where capitalist bondage has not been overthrown, we are certain that conscientious, advanced women workers will today demonstrate their dedication to the cause of the international revolution and their indestructible solidarity with the working women and men of the Soviet Union.…

    ''Women's rights are human rights'', averred the Unites States Secretary of State- Hillary Clinton. The realisation of women's rights is a world-wide struggle based on universal human rights and the rule of law. Most women of today's generation enjoy multiple rights that act as a determinant factor in making them be on a par with men. Evidently without the emancipation of women, perhaps today we would still be living in a world where patriarchy is prevalent and women considered as ‘the inferior gender’.…
