Today March 8 International Women's Day , own on this date in 1908, at the conclusion of a strike, a 29 workers were burned to death lives inside a factory New York! Just as at other times, the witches ! In memory of that tragedy, was established Woman's Day, at the suggestion of Rosa Luxemburg, another great woman, then killed died during the first season of the Republic of Weimar.Più sad that a party where you have mimosas it was said, on 8 March should be an occasion to reflect seriously on the role of women in society of men . The origin of Day 8 March dates back to 1908 when a group of workers of a textile strike in New York as a form of protest against the terrible conditions in which they were at work. The strike continued for several days but it was on March 8 that the ownership of the company blocked the exits of the factory, preventing the workers to leave the same. A mortally wounded
fire 129 workers, including the Italian women who are simply looking to improve their quality of work. Among them were many immigrants, including Italian women who, like others, sought to improve their living conditions. On March 8, eventually took on global importance, becoming a symbol of oppression that women have had to endure throughout the centuries and starting point for the ransom of his dignity.
L ' March 8 is then the memory of that sad day. It is not a "party" but rather to propose an anniversary every year as an indelible sign of what happened the last century, not to mention the discrimination and violence are still forced to endure. In fact, according to ISTAT figures, nearly 7 million Italian women between 16 and 70 who have suffered physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, equal to 31.9 per cent, about 5 million have suffered sexual violence (23 , 7 per cent) and nearly 4 million physical violence (18.8 percent). Not only that, the data released by Eurostat, shows that the employment rate of women in our country 'among the most' lowest in Europe and the percentage drops substantially for women with one or more 'children for childless women, aged between 25 and 54 years, the employment rate in Italy and 'equal to 63.9% against 75.8% of the EU average. The situation gets worse for women with a child: a job in Italy has only 59% against the EU average of 71.3%. Cosi ', between a thought and a mimosa, the International Women's Day is 101. And so 'past when, in 1910, during the socialist congress of workers in Copenhagen, one hundred women from 17 countries decided to create the world day. We prefer to remember, on the eve of the Feast, the gains made over a century: first of all, freedom 'of choice. One hundred years ago, in fact, women did not study, did not work, could not decide when to marry or have kids. Could not vote ........ The first to celebrate the feast was the United States in 1909, Italy will celebrate 'in 1922. In any case, everything begins' May 3, 1908 at the Garrick Theater in Chicago, where he was to be held on Sunday the usual conference of the Socialist Party. But that day, the moderator of the event does not occur 'and was the Socialist Corinne Brown to head: the conference, to which all women were invited, was called''Woman's Day,''the day of the woman. We discussed it function of exploitation by employers against women workers in terms of low wages and hours of labor, gender discrimination and voting rights to women. That initiative did not follow immediately, but at the end of the American Socialist Party recommend 'to all the local branches''to reserve the last Sunday in February 1909 for organizing a demonstration in favor of the right to vote female.'' It was so 'in the United States and the first official Women's Day was celebrated on February 28, 1909. In 1910, the Second international conference of socialist parties in Copenhagen, the American socialist in Europe decided to propose the celebration of this date proving very success. The celebrations, in 1911, slid to 19 March to remember the promise (made during the revolution of 1848) by the King of Prussia on the vote to women. For some years it was not set an exact date for International Women's Day, until March 8, 1917, in Petersburg, and many different groups of women workers and wives decided to celebrate Women's Day demonstrations for the bread their children and the return of men from war. In June '21 the Communist women, gathered in Moscow for the second conference, decided to take on 8 March as International Day of the worker, in memory of those women who marched in 1917 against the tyranny of the Czars. Seem to only legendary stories of the 129 workers died in a factory burned American and those who in 1857 triggered a strong protest against the police.
In Italy, the International Women's Day is celebrated 'for the first time only in 1922 on the initiative of the Communist Party of Italy who wanted to celebrate it on March 12, since' the first Sunday after the now fateful March 8. In 1944 it constituted 'a Rome Udi, Union Women in Italy, at the initiative of women belonging to the Communist Party, the Socialist Party, the Action Party, the Left and the Christian Democrats and Labour was the Udi to take the' initiative to celebrate the March 8, 1945, the first day of women in the zones of freedom, while in London was approved and sent a UN Charter which demands equality of women 'rights and working conditions. By the end of the war, March 8, 1946 was celebrated throughout Italy and saw the first appearance of its symbol, the mimosa, which blooms in its first days of March, according to an idea of \u200b\u200bTeresa Noce, Rita Montagnana Teresa Mattei. Another historic day to remember and 'that of '75, when the United Nations proclaimed the International Year of Women'. Since then the UN has begun to celebrate the woman on March 8, while in '77, the United Nations General Assembly decided to adopt a resolution proclaiming a''United Nations Day for Women's Rights and Peace International''.
