International Women’s Day<\/strong> (IWD<\/strong>), originally called International Working Women\u2019s Day<\/strong>, is marked on March 8<\/strong> every year.[1]<\/sup> In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women’s economic, political and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily <\/span>Eastern Europe<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Russia<\/span><\/a>, and the former <\/span>Soviet bloc<\/span><\/a>. In many regions, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of <\/span>Mother’s Day<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>St Valentine’s Day<\/span><\/a>. In other regions, however, the original political and human rights theme designated by the <\/span>United Nations<\/span><\/a> runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner.<\/span> http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/International_Womens_Day<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
