Χρόνια Πολλά στις Γυναίκες όλου του κόσμου - Happy Woman's Day all over the world


Η Ποπίτσα μου, το κορίτσι μου!



 Χρόνια Πολλά στις γυναίκες  όλου του κόσμου. 

********************
Ιδιαίτερα, πολλές ευχές και άπειρα ευχαριστώ! 

Στις γυναίκες της ζωής μου, αυτές που υπάρχουν και αυτές που φύγανε από κοντά μου, που μου χάρισαν τη ζωή, που με ανέθρεψαν και μου δίδαξαν αξίες και ιδανικά








στα κορίτσια,  που μοιραστήκαμε τα παιχνίδια μας. τις κούκλες μας  και παίζαμε μαζί στις γειτονιές της Τούμπας. Στη νέα κοριτσοπαρέα, της οικογένειάς μας που κάνει τα πρώτα της βήματα στο δρόμο της ζωής.

 Η οικογένειά μας: Η μάνα μου νύφη, οι γιαγιάδες μου, οι θείες, οι αγαπημένες μου ξαδέλφες  και τα καμάρια μου, οι ανηψιές μου!
Στις φίλες μου , τις συμμαθήτριες και συμφοιτήτριές μου που μοιραστήκαμε τη νιότη μας, τα όνειρά μας,  τους έρωτές μας, τις ανησυχίες μας , τις χαρές μας.

Το καλύτερα κορίτσια, αγαπημένες και λατρεμένες μου φίλες , 2ο Γυμνάσιο Τούμπας!

Στις συναδέλφισσές μου, που ήταν πολύτιμες για μένα και αλληλοστηριζόμασταν για να ανταπεξέλθουμε με υπευθυνότητα απένταντι στις ψυχές  που υποστηρίζαμε.



Στα δημιουργικά κορίτσια της πλεκτοπαρέας μου, που μαζί μοιραζόμαστε ώρες χαράς και καταστάλγμα ψυχής.  

Χρόνια πολλά κορίτσια, σας ευχαριστώ που υπάρξατε και υπάρχετε στη ζωή μου. 

 Ομως πώς και γιατί έγινε η επιλογή της 8ης Μαρτίου για να γιορτάσουμε της Μέρα της Γυναίκας και μάλιστα σε Διεθνή κλίμακα; 

Η 8η Μαρτίου καθιερώθηκε ως μέρα της γυναίκας σε ανάμνηση μιας μεγάλης εκδήλωσης διαμαρτυρίας που έγινε στις 8 Μαρτίου του 1857 από τις εργάτριες κλωστοϋφαντουργίας στη Νέα Υόρκη, οι οποίες διαδήλωναν ζητώντας καλύτερες συνθήκες εργασίας. Ηταν μία από τις πρώτες κινήσεις διεκδίκησης δικαιωμάτων από γυναίκες.
 


Η Διεθνής Ημέρα της Γυναίκας γιορτάστηκε για πρώτη φορά το 1909 με πρωτοβουλία του Σοσιαλιστικού Κόμματος των ΗΠΑ και το 1911 υιοθετήθηκε και από τη Σοσιαλιστική Διεθνή.

Στη Ρωσία μετά την Οκτωβριανή Επανάσταση ο Λένιν πείστηκε από τη φεμινίστρια Αλεξάνδρα Κολοντάι και καθιέρωσε την 8η Μαρτίου ως επίσημη αργία στη χώρα, ωστόσο σύντομα το πολιτικό υπόβαθρο της γιορτής ξεθώριασε και πλέον η μέρα της γυναίκας γιορτάζεται σε όλο τον κόσμο ως έκφραση αγάπης και εκτίμησης προς το ωραίο φύλο.



Από το 1975 η μέρα της γυναίκας διεξάγεται υπό την αιγίδα του ΟΗΕ, για την ανάδειξη των γυναικείων δικαιωμάτων σε όλο τον κόσμο.

Happy Woman's Day to all the women all over the world! 


International Women's Day has been observed since in the early 1900's, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies.
1908
Great unrest and critical debate was occurring amongst women. Women's oppression and inequality was spurring women to become more vocal and active in campaigning for change. Then in 1908, 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights.
1909
In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the first National Woman's Day (NWD) was observed across the United States on 28 February. Women continued to celebrate NWD on the last Sunday of February until 1913.
1910
n 1910 a second International Conference of Working Women was held in Copenhagen. A woman named a Clara Zetkin (Leader of the 'Women's Office' for the Social Democratic Party in Germany) tabled the idea of an International Women's Day. She proposed that every year in every country there should be a celebration on the same day - a Women's Day - to press for their demands. The conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, representing unions, socialist parties, working women's clubs, and including the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament, greeted Zetkin's suggestion with unanimous approval and thus International Women's Day was the result.
1911
Following the decision agreed at Copenhagen in 1911, International Women's Day (IWD) was honoured the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on 19 March. More than one million women and men attended IWD rallies campaigning for women's rights to work, vote, be trained, to hold public office and end discrimination. However less than a week later on 25 March, the tragic 'Triangle Fire' in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working women, most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants. This disastrous event drew significant attention to working conditions and labour legislation in the United States that became a focus of subsequent International Women's Day events. 1911 also saw women's 'Bread and Roses' campaign.
1913-1914
On the eve of World War I campaigning for peace, Russian women observed their first International Women's Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. In 1913 following discussions, International Women's Day was transferred to 8 March and this day has remained the global date for International Women's Day ever since. In 1914 further women across Europe held rallies to campaign against the war and to express women's solidarity.
1917
On the last Sunday of February, Russian women began a strike for "bread and peace" in response to the death over 2 million Russian soldiers in war. Opposed by political leaders the women continued to strike until four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. The date the women's strike commenced was Sunday 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia. This day on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere was 8 March.

 IWD 100 years


1918 - 1999
Since its birth in the socialist movement, International Women's Day has grown to become a global day of recognition and celebration across developed and developing countries alike. For decades, IWD has grown from strength to strength annually. For many years the United Nations has held an annual IWD conference to coordinate international efforts for women's rights and participation in social, political and economic processes. 1975 was designated as 'International Women's Year' by the United Nations. Women's organisations and governments around the world have also observed IWD annually on 8 March by holding large-scale events that honour women's advancement and while diligently reminding of the continued vigilance and action required to ensure that women's equality is gained and maintained in all aspects of life.
2000 and beyond
IWD is now an official holiday in Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, China (for women only), Cuba, Georgia, Guinea-Bissau, Eritrea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Madagascar (for women only), Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Nepal (for women only), Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Zambia. The tradition sees men honouring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues, etc with flowers and small gifts. In some countries IWD has the equivalent status of Mother's Day where children give small presents to their mothers and grandmothers.
The new millennium has witnessed a significant change and attitudinal shift in both women's and society's thoughts about women's equality and emancipation. Many from a younger generation feel that 'all the battles have been won for women' while many feminists from the 1970's know only too well the longevity and ingrained complexity of patriarchy. With more women in the boardroom, greater equality in legislative rights, and an increased critical mass of women's visibility as impressive role models in every aspect of life, one could think that women have gained true equality. The unfortunate fact is that women are still not paid equally to that of their male counterparts, women still are not present in equal numbers in business or politics, and globally women's education, health and the violence against them is worse than that of men.
However, great improvements have been made. We do have female astronauts and prime ministers, school girls are welcomed into university, women can work and have a family, women have real choices. And so the tone and nature of IWD has, for the past few years, moved from being a reminder about the negatives to a celebration of the positives.
GoogleAnnually on 8 March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women's craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more.
Many global corporations have also started to more actively support IWD by running their own internal events and through supporting external ones. For example, on 8 March search engine and media giant Google some years even changes its logo on its global search pages. Year on year IWD is certainly increasing in status. The United States even designates the whole month of March as 'Women's History Month'.
So make a difference, think globally and act locally !! Make everyday International Women's Day. Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.



 HAPPY WOMANS DAY
