On this occasion, we would like to thank all our friends who were comming to our events and supported us both by participating and by financial contributions that we handed over to those in need.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN´S DAY

International Women's Day (IWD) falls on 8 March every year. It is an internationally respected holiday introduced by the United Nations to commemorate the 1908 strike of New York seamstresses. At the time, women sought shorter working hours, better pay, voting rights and an end to child labour. The first official women's holiday was celebrated on February 28, 1909, the date of March 8 was not established until after the First World War and International Women's Day as such in 1975.

At the beginning of the 20th century, one of the main goals of the holiday was to win women's suffrage, which was most deserved by British women along with American women. At present, International Women's Day emphasizes women's solidarity in the field of equal opportunities, justice, peace and development. Femininity and emancipation are celebrated, which unfortunately is not a matter of course anywhere in the world even in the 21st century.
