8TH MARCH 2012 : INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY

 MARCH 8 : HAPPY WOMENS DAYS !!!



First of all wishing you all a happy womens day

International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day, is marked on March 8 every year.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. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet bloc. In many regions, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and Valentine's Day.

It is a day to wish the women in your life be it  your mom ,wife,aunt,sister ,grandma ,daughter.It is a day to appreciate the person who has the biggest but quietest influence in your life.
She is a person around whom your world revolves & you are incomplete without her.
Though we feel it in our hearts but never realize & say it aloud .

International Women's Day is not about asserting the superiority of one gender over the other. It is not about petty quarrels about who gets to do the dishes after dinner. The United Nations instituted International Women's Day to commemorate the contribution of women in the socio-political sphere as well as in global peace and security.



Historically, women have been suppressed and treated unfairly. Even in the West, women were not given equal opportunities for work. Women were not given voting powers and they could not participate in political activity. Relegated to the hearth and household, women had little else to do other than raise children.

International Women's Day can be traced back to the women's suffrage movement in the late nineteenth century. Over two centuries, women achieved tremendous progress in every walk of life. Women's emancipation took new meaning when women traveled to space, and fought alongside men at battlefields.

Yet we find many pockets in the world, where women are suppressed and demeaned. Gender bias exists at every social stratum, even in the most developed societies.

Whether you are a woman or man, you must know that International Women's Day celebrates your emancipation. Had it not been for women's emancipation, free thinking would be impossible. An educated woman can raise intelligent children, which in turn creates a self-reliant society. Celebrate the spirit of womanhood with insightful International Women's Day quotes

Today women have conquered various  fields  in careeer balancing their life in various roles like mom ,wife,aunt,sister ,daughter. I highly salute the working women who should aptly be called as  super women juggling with hard work ,handling pressures in office on one hand & equally supporting & nurturing their family at home.
