International Women's Day is on March 8 every year. On this day, people celebrate the achievements of women all over the world and continue to fight for basic rights (权利) for women.
How did it start?
In 1908, women in New York City wanted the right to vote. They also hoped to acquire shorter working hours and better pay. Then, in 1910 in Denmark, a woman called Clara Zetkin had the idea for an international day for women. The first International Women's Day happened the next year.
Why do we need a special day for women?
In many countries, men get higher pay than women for doing the same job. Men get a better education and better health care, and do less work at home. Men also get better chances than women to get their jobs. We need a change for women so that women can have the same chances as men.
How is International Women's Day celebrated?
People usually celebrate by remembering important women in history, like Emmeline Pankhurst, Rosa Parks, Marie Curie...It's a very long list! They made great achievements in their fields.
People also have special events to celebrate it. In some countries, boys and men celebrate this day, too!
If you want to celebrate this important day, you could:
⒈learn about an important girl or woman in your country (for example, in sports, science or history) and tell your classmates about her;
⒉ask your teacher if you can do a class project about this day.
