International women's day - history and modernity
id: 10052369

The modern celebration of Women's Day no longer has the goal of affirming equality (as it was originally), but is considered the day of spring, female beauty, tenderness, spiritual wisdom and attention to a woman, regardless of her status and age ✨

The holiday is celebrated by the United Nations, and in some countries this day is a national holiday.
The idea of holding International Women's Day first arose precisely at the beginning of the 20th century, when the industrialized world was going through a period of expansion and upheaval, a population boom and the emergence of radical ideologies.In 1910, the Second International Conference of Working Women took place in Copenhagen. The leader of the women's group of the Social Democratic Party of Germany Clara Zetkin (Clara Zetkin) put forward the idea of celebrating International Women's Day. She suggested that Women's Day should be celebrated annually in every country on the same day. The purpose of this holiday Zetkin called the struggle of women for their rights.
The official status of "International Women's Day" this holiday acquired by decision of the UN in 1975, and since then it has been celebrated by the UN annually as the International Day for Women's Rights and International Peace and every year is dedicated to a specific topic.

In modern society, International Women's Day, first of all, is a holiday of spring and attention to a woman, when representatives of the strong half of humanity can once again please their loved ones and relatives with gifts and care.

With love to you, Sofia 💓
