The origin of March 8 women's day

Message from March 8th Women's Day:

Women's Day came as scheduled. We would like to extend holiday greetings and best wishes to all female workers.

March 8th International Women's Day, a revolutionary festival with a long history, originated in 1909. At that time, under the influence of 1905- 1907 Russian revolution, the revolutions in various countries continued to develop, and the American workers' movement also reached a new climax. 1909 On March 8, women in Chicago, USA and workers in the national textile and garment industry held a massive strike demonstration. They demanded higher wages, an eight-hour work system and the right to vote. This struggle has been warmly supported and responded by working women in the United States and the world.

19 10 at the second international socialist women's congress held in Denmark in August, March 8 was designated as International Women's Day, also known as "March 8" and "Women's Day". This is also a festival for working women in various countries.

People in China often say that women hold up half the sky, accounting for half of the population. No matter in the revolutionary war years, the socialist revolution and construction period, or in the new historical stage of reform and opening up, women have always played an important role in "holding up half the sky". Women have made great contributions to reform and opening up, economic construction and social development. With the care and support of the Party and the government, all women's undertakings in China have made great progress, and women's rights to work, education, equal pay for equal work, rest and participation in and discussion of state affairs have been fully guaranteed and improved, and they are at the forefront of the world. This makes us proud and proud!

The status of women is improving day by day. "March 8th Festival" is a festival for women, which embodies the concern, respect and understanding of society for women. Full of warmth, consideration and love; What brings us is relaxed and happy, self-esteem, self-confidence and optimistic spirit.

Under the correct leadership of the company's leaders, the majority of female employees have fully carried forward the spirit of "self-respect, self-love, self-reliance and self-reliance", made extraordinary achievements in ordinary jobs and made positive contributions to the company's production and operation. It is hoped that the majority of female employees will give full play to the role of women as "half the sky" and make new and greater contributions to the development of the company.

I wish you all a happy holiday, smooth work, happy life and happy family!

March 8th Women's Day Poetry:

Dedicated to mother

Sitting quietly on a flower has been integrated with the book.

Because of her concentration, the book opened countless indifferent black eyes.

How beautiful and quiet! those years

I grew up healthily by tasting such scenes. She read softly, rippling in the air.

Love wave

Smell the homesick sea!

-

This bending posture makes the sun bend to the ground;

Such snow-white hair makes every winter pure and beautiful.

-

Old mother! Read longer than my life! Sitting quietly in the chill of early spring.

The waves decorate my years layer by layer.

When I went to the seaside as a student, I wrote a magnificent poem.

Waiting for your reading!

=

Untitled

A river of youth suddenly flows away with a bang.

Mom! I stopped by a blue sky and my bike leaned against the sun.

Underwater blue sky and deep water: boundless clouds

At this time, clouds are wandering around.

The flowers in my life suddenly bloom.

-

This is a mess of beauty everywhere! I drank the waves and rode away on my bike, the wheels rolling.

I'm far, far away ―― completely gone!

-

The rest of my body is next to the endless blue wave.

The rest of my poems record life, in full bloom-

What is left to me is green mountains and green waters, living and working.

-

I can only live in my mother's poems.

Living, melancholy, singing, full of hope.

-

Waiting for your return!

The origin of March 8th Women's Day:

Women's Day, also known as "International Women's Day", is a festival for women all over the world to strive for peace, equality and development. This festival falls on March 8 every year. Over the past century, women all over the world have made unremitting efforts and struggles to win this right. On March 8, 1985, female garment and textile workers in new york, USA, held a protest against inhumane working conditions, with working hours of 12 hours and low wages. Two years later, in March, these women formed their first trade union, 1908. On March 8th, 1500 women marched in new york, demanding shorter working hours, higher labor remuneration, voting rights and prohibition of child labor. Their slogan is "bread and roses"; Bread symbolizes economic security, while roses symbolize a better quality of life. In May, the Socialist Party of the United States decided to designate the last Sunday in February as Domestic Women's Day 19 10. German sociologist Tsetkin suggested that one day be designated as' International Women's Day' to commemorate the strike of American garment workers. The International Conference of Women Sociologists held in Copenhagen accepted this proposal. But the exact date 19 17 has not been decided yet. Russian women called for a strike on February 23, demanding "bread and peace" to protest against the poor working environment and food shortage. This day is based on the fact that julian calendar used in Russia is the last Sunday of each month, while the Gregorian calendar widely used in Europe is March 8, 1924. The * * * Production Party of China held its first commemoration meeting on March 8th in Guangzhou. 1949, the Central People's Government of China made a decision to designate March 8th as Women's Day, and women throughout the country had a half-day holiday, and held various ceremonies to commemorate and celebrate.

1977 65438+In February, the United Nations passed a resolution stipulating that the United Nations Women's Rights and Peace Day, on a certain day, is subject to the history and traditions of member States. For the United Nations, International Women's Day is scheduled for March 8th. The South African Women's Day of 1975 is different from the International Women's Day of August 9th. Hundreds of black women held demonstrations in Pretoria to protest against the "passport law" of apartheid. The new South African government has designated this day as Women's Day to commemorate the contribution made by South African women in the struggle for equality and to make it a national holiday. Since then, women all over South Africa have held various forms of celebrations every year, demanding gender equality, ending party conflicts and violence, guaranteeing women's right to life, and opposing sexual harassment and sexual crimes in order to achieve the goal of elimination.
