International Women's Day - how we celebrate, celebration ideas, gift ideas
When do we celebrate Women's Day?
Women's Day, celebrated on March 8 every year, aims to honor and appreciate all women - mothers, daughters, partners, friends, colleagues, and other important people in our lives. People celebrate this day in various ways, from giving flowers and gifts to expressing gratitude and respect towards the women around us.
This holiday is international in nature and celebrates women's achievements in all areas of life, including society, culture, economy, politics, and emphasizes the importance of gender equality and women's rights.
Why March 8?
The origin of the holiday dates back to 1910 and comes from labor movements in North America and Europe. The first Women's Day celebrations took place on February 28, 1909, in New York and were organized by the Socialist Party of America. Some claim that Women's Day commemorates a protest by women working in garment production in New York on March 8, 1857. However, experts note this is not true and is an attempt to separate International Women's Day from its socialist origins. For the first time, Women's Day was officially celebrated on March 19, 1911, in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. In the following years, numerous protests and anti-war demonstrations took place. In Russia, Bolshevik feminist Alexandra Kollontai convinced Lenin to make March 8 an official holiday in Russia.
Women's Day in Poland
The first Women's Day celebrations in Poland took place on March 24, 1924. However, the holiday was not very popular. In Poland, Women's Day was very popular during the PRL period. Women were traditionally given carnations and tights on this day, and later tulips. Nowadays, numerous demonstrations for equal treatment of women and men take place every year.
