WOMEN'S DAY: THE ORIGINS AND MEANING
The origins of the festival date back to March 8 1908, when a few days before that date, in New York , the workers of 'Cotton textile industry went on strike to protest the terrible conditions in which they were forced to work. The strike lasted for several days, until March 8 owner Mr. Johnson, blocked all the gates of the factory to prevent workers leaving. At the building was set on fire and the 129 workers trapped inside burned by the flames. After this date was proposed as an international day of struggle in favor of women, by Rosa Luxemburg, just a reminder of the tragedy.
This sad occurrence, kicked off in the years immediately following a series of celebrations that the early days were confined to the United States and had the sole purpose of horrible memories made by the end of the factory workers died in the fire.
Later, with the spread and multiplication of initiatives, which saw women as protagonistele claims relating to employment and social status, dated 8 March assumed global importance, becoming, thanks to feminist associations, the symbol harassment that women have had to endure throughout the centuries, but also the starting point for their ransom.
Over the years, went largely lost the true meaning of International Women's Day.
