International Women's Day (IWD)
I know, I'd never heard of it before either, but that's what listening to NPR gets you...A lot of new and interesting information to deal with everyday. It appears that this is a more generalized version of Mother's Day, but instead is just focused on all women and not just mothers, which seems fair to me. The UN has decided that this IWD needs to be focused on the atrocities committed with impunity against women all over the world during times of war.
Definitely a matter of great concern, we live in a world where women are cravenly taken advantage of and used as a commodity by immoral people. It sure seems like we all need to do more to make it right. So do your part today and thank womankind for all their hard work to make this world what it is today. And if you can find a way to decrease their suffering, well you should probably do that everyday and not just today.
Read more over at United Nations and find events at IWD website.
