Jaga This is an important event since year 1911. www.modernmom.com/hottopic/2010/mar/8/international-womens-day-2010/As with the event, their has been some very diffenant changes in the work place for Women. For they are stated as equal in as much as should be. In the sector of Civil-Service, there are some very strong penalties following any abuse report. For this reason, each report is taken upon by the individual merit. Perhaps you may find the additional url interesting. www.ethiopianreview.com/news/13188As proof positive, our Chanceler is a women {She is the top boss}! Karl |

Jaga,
some questions came up about Women's day in a Slovak discussion, so I passed on your links. Then I read the links and found them interesting myself.
Have a Happy Day!
Kai

It is interesting since two guys still sent me the good wishes for International Women Day.
But they are the "old school".

While Valentine's Day has surpassed the March 8th holiday in many countries, in Russia March 8th is still a very important day.

From another forum:
The British weekly, The Economist, used several indicators from two databanks to compile an index of a woman's chances to be treated equally at work. The ranking of the Central European countries looks quite unlike most other CE ratings (the exact number of the points below is somewhat approximate, higher is better):
75 Poland
71 Hungary
64 Slovakia
59 Austria, Germany
-
54 Czech R.
52 Switzerland
The best of the 26 rated countries was New Zealand with 89 points (100 would mean complete equality), the U.S. got 72, South Korea was rated the lowest with 14 points.

Eric, yes, we got Women's Day from Russia although originally it should be celebrated in the US, where it was established.
Ron, South Korea has some cultural problems it needs to overcome. They have also a very strong family hierarchy and age system, that does not allow younger people to questions elders authority, thus they has some airplane industry (younger pilot should not question the older one) which led to the advertising company of Korean airlines.
I did not expect them to be so low on women rights scale..... what about Arab/muslim countries?

John, Kai,
thanks for good wishes for Women Day. I actually celebrated it. Idaho Airplane Association celebrated it by inviting women for free airplane ride. I took another girlfriend with me and we flew above Idaho Falls and area and the weather was gorgeous. Today it is really bad and grey like it was almost every day during the last two weeks except yesterday.

Dutch Female choir sings feminist socialist a song on International Women's Day 2011 in Amsterdam The International Women's Day becomes a political demo in Amsterdam. Next to women's rights anti-war and anti-capitalist slogans and banners are carried. You see that the majority of the women are migrant women of leftist organisations. I believe there are leftist Kurds and Turks amongst them who also oppose the Turkish government. Some people choose any occasion to have the chance to get attention for their cause. International Women's Day in the Netherlands is mainly a leftwing feminist enterprise. In the past female socialists were disappointed in the solidarity of socialist men, who weren't that interested in feminism. Class struggle and workers rights but feminism? Stil Feminism was a part of the leftwing movement in the sixties and seventies, next to the Liberation theology. The women movement was stronger in the sixties, seventies and eighties than it is today. But new female movements have come to existance like Femen in Ukraine and new waves of feminism. Watch from 5:50 for the Sabine interview with Rennefanz, Political Correspondent, Berliner Zeitung about "Sexism Outcry - Time for a New Feminism?" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_theology |
