International Women's Day (IWD) is marked on March 8 every year.

It is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women.

Слайд 3

The first IWD was observed on 28 February 1909 in the

United States following a declaration by the Socialist Party of America.

Among other relevant historic events, it came to commemorate the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. It was one of the largest industrial disasters in the history of the city of New York city, causing the death of 146 garment workers, almost all of them women, who either died from the fire or jumped from the fatal height.

The idea of having an international women's day was first put

forward at the turn of the 19th century amid rapid world industrialization and economic expansion that led to protests over working conditions.
In 1910 the first international women's conference was held in Copenhagen by the Second International and an 'International Women's Day' was established, which was submitted by the important German Socialist Clara Zetkin, although no date was specified.

Demonstrations marking International Women's Day in Russia proved to be one

the first stage of the Russian Revolution of 1917.

Following the October Revolution, the Bolshevik feminist Alexandra Kollontai persuaded Lenin to make it an official holiday in the Soviet Union, and it was established, but was a working day until 1965.

Слайд 6

On May 8, 1965 by the decree of the USSR Presidium

of the Supreme Soviet International Women's Day was declared as a non working day in the USSR "in commemoration of the outstanding merits of Soviet women in communistic construction, in the defense of their Motherland during the Great Patriotic War, in their heroism and selflessness at the front and in the rear, and also marking the great contribution of women to strengthening friendship between peoples, and the struggle for peace."

Слайд 8

On this day it is customary for men to give the

women in their lives - mothers, wives, girlfriends, daughters, colleagues, etc - flowers and small gifts. In some countries (such as Romania) it is also observed as an equivalent of Mother's Day, where children also give small presents to their mothers and grandmothers.

Слайд 9

In Italy, to celebrate the day, men give yellow mimosas to

women. Yellow mimosas and chocolate are also one of the most common March 8 presents in Russia and Albania.

In many counties of East Europe the custom of giving women flowers still prevails. Women sometimes get gifts from their employers too. Schoolchildren often bring gifts for their teachers as well.

Слайд 10

In 1975, which had been designated as International Women’s Year, the

United Nations gave official sanction to and began sponsoring International Women's Day.
