Good Day to all!
Although there are not many active female participants in this venue, I still think it is important to advise everyone of this very important day for women. International Women's Day (IWD) is the universal day that connects all women around the world and inspires them to achieve their full potential. IWD 2006 launches another year of working progressively for women's equality worldwide. It is an important day around the world because the collective power of women is witnessed by millions, and the brave achievements of women past, present and future are respectfully honored. International Women's Day 2006 will be celebrated globally on Wednesday, March 8th. Congratulations to all women on this very memorable day.

It seems I'm becoming very very mysanthropic... I didn't even realized today was March 8th. Hope you all had a good day and all that.  -------------

 Women look at flowers in downtown Sarajevo on Wednesday, March 8, 2006. Bosnian men traditionally buy flowers for their female relatives, friends, and colleagues to mark International Women's Day, which has been celebrated in all republics of the former Yugoslavia for decades. Happy Women's Day All! ------------- |

The U.S. is perhaps the only country that does not recognize International Women's Day as an official holiday Anyways, happy March 8th!

Land of Aryan.....I am speechless! These women are conducting a peaceful gathering and they are getting beaten for it? I thought believers of Islam respected their women! 
Women of Iran.....keep fighting for your equal rights.
I am so proud of the women shown in these photos for publicly joining together. Those are strong women and I applaud them!

fact is Iranian women have more freedom than many other Islamic country, but in Islam Women rights = 1/2 men in court 3 female witness = 1man &...... Also this Gov. leaded by khomeini that when Shah let women to Vote in election, khomeini was against it ------------- |

Hi, (in response to Emperor Barbarossa's post above) Apparently there is an 'International Men's day' held on November 19 in many places. Here is a website: http://www.internationalmensday.com/ - International Men's Day global website Speaking on behalf of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNESCO - UNESCO , [about International Men's Day] Ms. Ingeborg Breines, Director of http://www.unesco.org/cpp/wcp - Women and Culture of Peace said, “This is an excellent idea and would give some gender balance.”I never thought of it like that, as imbalance. But I guess to have one gender only listened to and massively funded for health and family etc., and only one gender celebrated with a special day is I guess exactly what Ms. Breines implies, imbalance. Its not all about who is president or CEO (ie. men), but about who gets thier health and family connections empowered (women), and who is disempowered in those domains (men). There is an old question which askes 'Why is there no International Men's Day', to which is answered- "Because every other day is international men's day!". Personally I don't buy this because the funding of health for men, and recognition of thier potential role as nurturers of children within the family is roundly dismissed in favour of sterotyping all males. I guess the question now reads "Why is there now an International Men's Day", to which could be answered, "because on no other day are suicides and health needs and family issues recognized for men and boys".

Wow, that is very interesting. I was sort of joking in my post, but now I am intrigued that there is seriously an International Men's Day. -------------

Both are pointless. The only real benefit that could come from international women's day is that it would act as a pressure point for women's struggles for rights all over the world (Contrary to the views of feminists, women in the USA and Europe are not persecuted. When people claim that sort of nonsense they only demean the cause of women in countries were they ARE persecuted) International Men's day hopefully will shrivel and die in the buraucratic malaise that conceived of it. ------------- |
