International Women's Day

International Women's Day is celebrated every year on March 8. This holiday has been introduced in the 20th century in the United States. After a while the people of United States stopped celebrating this holiday. In 1920's Soviet Union and then some other Communist countries like China, Cuba started celebrating this day as a holiday for women. Since then the holiday has been finding more and more acceptance around the world. In 1975 United Nations also started to recognize this holiday.

International Women's Day has been observed since in the early 1900's, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of political ideologies.

IWD is now an official holiday in Albania, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, China, Cuba, Georgia, Italy, Israel, Laos, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Zambia. The tradition sees men honouring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues, etc with flowers and small gifts. In some countries IWD has the equivalent status of Mother's Day where children give small presents, such as flowers, to their mothers and grandmothers. In some countries women are given 1/2 day off work. Often, schools will have a celebration where students will honor their teachers.
