WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL DAY ` MARCH 8
Women's international day ` March 8 is celebrated in the whole
world. It is also celebrated by the United Nations Organization and is
a national day in many countries.
Started as a political event, the holiday blended in the culture of
many countries. In some celebrations, the day lost its political
flavor, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love to
the women around them.
By urban legend, women from clothing and textile factories staged one
such protest on 8 March 1857 in New York City. The garment workers
were protesting against very poor working conditions and low
wages. The protesters were attacked and dispersed by police. These
women established their first labor union in the same month two years
later.
In this regard celebrations are sent to our beloved women from the
Supreme Patriarch of All Armenians, Defense Minister, Chairman of
National Assembly wishing them all the best and love.
