\nCelebrating International Women\u2019s Day around the world<\/p>\n

INVEST IN CARING NOT KILLING! Women & girls do 2\/3 of the world’s work, most of it unwaged. $1 trillion\/year is spent on the military worldwide, more than half by the US. 10% of this would provide the essentials of life for all: water, sanitation, basic health, nutrition, literacy, and a minimum income.
\nThe Global Women’s Strike network, with national co-ordinations in 11 countries and participating organisations in over 60 countries, is demanding the return of military budgets to the community, beginning with women the main carers of people and the planet. Women, and men who support our goals, take action together on 8 March, International Women\u2019s Day, and throughout the year. In this way each grassroots struggle is backed by our collective power. …<\/em><\/p>\n

– “Ending Impunity for Violence against Women and Girls”
\nIs the theme for International Women’s Day 2007<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1975, during International Women’s Year, the United Nations began celebrating 8 March as International Women’s Day. Two years later, in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and national traditions. For the United Nations, International Women’s Day has been observed on 8 March since 1975. The Day is traditionally marked with a message from the Secretary-General.<\/p>\n

Why dedicate a day exclusively to the celebration of the world’s women?<\/p>\n

In adopting its resolution on the observance of Women’s Day, the General Assembly cited two reasons: to recognize the fact that securing peace and social progress and the full enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms require the active participation, equality and development of women; and to acknowledge the contribution of women to the strengthening of international peace and security. For the women of the world, the Day’s symbolism has a wider meaning: It is an occasion to review how far they have come in their struggle for equality, peace and development. It is also an opportunity to unite, network and mobilize for meaningful change.<\/p>\n
