March 8 marks International Women’s Day. More than just celebrating women for their well-known “superpowers,” such as their incredible multitasking ability, this day honors a past of struggle and achievements in the search for equality and freedom.
A date with history
History tells us that the protests of female workers at a textile factory in New York in 1857 gave rise to the celebration of Women’s Day all over the world. Over the years, women continued to make their voices heard, joining together in various demonstrations. In 1908, more than 14,000 women joined a march through the streets of New York. They marched with the slogan “Bread and Roses”, where bread symbolized economic stability and the delicate roses, a better quality of life.
That year, the American Socialist Party decreed the last Sunday of February as International Women’s Day. However, it was during the world conference of socialist organizations held in Copenhagen that German revolutionary Clara Zetkin proposed March 8 as International Women’s Day. A date that reinforces international solidarity among female workers in the struggle for common goals and a demonstration of their organized strength. The effort is so that one day prejudice and the devaluation of women will end.
We take this opportunity to pay tribute to all women, and especially to all those who are part of the Horto do Campo Grande team.
