The international women's day , is an important date celebrated on March 8 every year. This celebration started as a Socialist political event. The first and earliest women's day observance was celebrated in 1909 and it was organized by the Social Party of America in New York . At first , this celebration was considered only in Europe , but from 1920s, Soviet Union, and other comunists countries started to celebrate this date. In 1975 the UN ( United Nations ) began , with other members states , to recognize this holiday. But , today , this celebration does not have a political respect , in fact it became a simply occasion for men to express their love for women , as Mother's day or Valentine's day. Anyway we have to remember this date , because a lot of women fought for their civil rights and at the same time against the sexism and the sexual discrimination ; also today some of them are still fighting for their rights. There are a lot of way to celebrate this holiday, in fact , in Italy men give yellow mimosas to women , but this tradition is also followed in other countries.
HE FOR SHE
He for she is a solidarity campaign for gender equality initiated by UN women . Its goal is to engage men and boys to fight for gender equality and women's right. So, in this way, HE FOR SHE involve men and boys in a movement that, at first, was created only for women. This type of movement started on 20 September 2014 with the help of some importants people like Emma Watson.
