INTE NATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY On Thursday 8 March women, children and some men will mark the progress that women have made in their fight for equality. It’s a fight that can be traced back as far as Ancient Greece. though the roots of International Women’s Day itself go back only a century to protests in the US over the appalling working conditions and wages of women in manufacturing, textiles and domestic industries. Following this, the first International Women’s Day was celebrated on 28 February 1909. By 1913, Copenhagen, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Russia had joined in. Other countries soon followed.
It may not be a recognised holiday
Zero tolerance of violence
in the UK, but the day is still celebrated by millions of women around the country. Glasgow is no exception. You can meet women from different cultures or celebrate with entertainment from female musicians and comedians. For those wanting to make more of an impact, there is a day of action to make a stand against those who exploit women around the world. ‘International Women’s Day has always been a chance for women to show international solidarity,’ says Judy Cox, the national organiser of Globalise Resistance. ‘Especially now the post-Seattle, no-Iogo generation are becoming active, it’s a brilliant chance to bring spirit to this event.’ The day also coincides with the recent launch of the new Zero Tolerance campaign by Glasgow Council and, for those who like a slight twist, there is a book event in which men will read from the work of Scottish female writers. However you choose to celebrate, it is a day that represents nine decades of women’s struggle for equality, justice, peace and development in the world. If that isn’t a reason to celebrate then I don’t know what is.
