Woman's Day

Historical note that helps us understand the true meaning for women

On March 8 of each year to remember both the social, economic and political achievements, and the discrimination and violence that women have been and are still subject to in almost all parts of the world. It is associated with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women established on December 17, 1999 and which falls on November 25 every year.

This celebration has been held in the United States of America since 1909. In some European countries since 1911 and in Italy since 1922.

Especially in the past and still today by the Union of Italian women and in the common sense it is called Women's Day even if International Women's Day would be more correct, since the motivation is not the party but the reflection.
