Women's Day Celebration In Sawa

Women's Day marks the role of women in both the past and the present. It was started to highlight the importance of working women and bring to light their problems. However, the day is not a one-day agenda. The real challenge lies in the spontaneous flow of feelings -- honoring and celebrating womanhood on a particular March 8 only to forget its importance the next day is sacrilegious.

In this article, we'd like to introduce to you the way to celebrate International Women's Day in other countries, including the countries in South Africa, U.S. and Russia.

Since its founding, the National Women's History Project has recognized and celebrated the rich and varied contributions of women to the history and culture of the United States.

The 2005 Women's History Month theme, "Women Change America," honors and recognizes the role of American women in transforming culture, history and politics as leaders, writers, scientists, educators, politicians, artists, historians, and informed citizens.

 Tips on Women's Day

This day is a great way to honor the women in our lives- mothers, sisters, wives, daughters - everyone should be made to feel special. Here are a few ways by which you can mark the day:

1. Think about all those women who have helped in their own way to shape your life. Do something they would have liked.

2. Consider cooking their favorite food, planting their favorite flowers in your garden or sending a check to their favorite charity. The idea is to make them feel special.

3. Host an all women's party and have a ball of a time.

4. Shower the women in your life with wonderful gifts (if you're a man) expressing your love and respect towards their individuality.

5. Accept graciously when the men in your life shower you with gifts (if you're a woman).

各國(guó)慶祝方式大比拼  Background

南非婦女節(jié)時(shí)間有別于國(guó)際婦女節(jié)。 1956年8月9日,數(shù)百名黑人婦女在比勒陀利亞舉行示威游行,抗議當(dāng)局推行種族隔離的"通行證法"。新南非政府將這一天定為婦女節(jié),以紀(jì)念南非婦女在爭(zhēng)取平等斗爭(zhēng)中所作的貢獻(xiàn),并將這一天定為全國(guó)公假日。

從此,每年的 8 月 9 日,南非各地的婦女紛紛舉行各種形式的慶祝活動(dòng),要求實(shí)現(xiàn)男女平等、結(jié)束黨派沖突與暴力,保證婦女生存權(quán)益和反對(duì)性騷擾與性犯罪,以消除舊南非種族隔離制度造成的根深蒂固的歧視婦女的影響。

三·八婦女節(jié)是俄羅斯人相為重視的節(jié)日之一。這一天的鮮花價(jià)格,甚至能超過(guò)情人節(jié)的價(jià)格。每個(gè)男人都會(huì)為自己心愛(ài)的人送上一束鮮花。學(xué)生也會(huì)為自己的女老師送上鮮花表達(dá)謝意。附帶著鮮花的暢銷(xiāo)貨則是香檳酒了。除了送禮物外,俄羅斯人總會(huì)與親朋好友聚在一起,慶賀一番。平時(shí)很少?gòu)氖录覄?wù)活的俄羅斯男人這天也會(huì)親自下廚房,為全家人準(zhǔn)備一頓美餐。而女士們則不必動(dòng)手,坐享其成。
