"Women"- a complete symbol of social oppression by caste, religion, capitalist exploiters and male chauvinism from thousands of years. Every year women celebrate International Women's day on March 8 as a symbol of joy and fun. The first "International Women's Day" was held on March 8, 1914. As the years passed, women's were blacked out from knowing the true history and sacrifice of thousands of women's for liberation and to celebrate first international women's day. Actually, it's the day for working women to come together and raise their voice for women's rights. Its been more than 90 years now since first International Women's day was celebrated. Today, women's day has lost its political and social importance. To know the value of women's day, its necessary to know the complete history and the reason for celebrating International Women's Day.
History
The International Women’s
day started in the early 20th century in America under the
leadership of Women Socialist to fight for political rights of women. On
February 28 1909, the Socialist Party of America declared the first National
Women’s Day (NWD), and organized mass demonstration and meeting across America.
For this reason, the credit for organizing first women’s day goes to all
American working women and socialists.

In 1910, a second
International Conference was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, where all Socialist
Organizations met together. The conference included 100 delegates from 17
countries, German socialist Luise Zietz and Clara Zetkin proposed the
establishment of an annual International Women’s Day, but the date for
celebration was not finalized. The conference decided that every year all
countries should celebrate International Women’s Day on the same day with the
slogan “The vote for women will unite our strength in the struggle for
socialism”.
On March 19, 1911,
International Women’s day was started in Austria, Germany, Denmark and
Switzerland. Millions of women’s gathered and took part in demonstration
against women oppression in work place. In Vienna, women’s carried the banners
and paraded honouring the martyrs of “Paris Commune” (1871).

After victory of Russian
revolution and formation of Soviet Union, Lenin proclaimed March 8th as
International Women's day and official holiday across Soviet Union for service
women to uplift the society. Till this day, women’s day is the official
national holiday across communist and socialist countries. For a long time
western countries did not accept March 8th as Women’s Day due to its
symbol of working women’s revolution. Later, UN officially proclaimed March 8th
as International Women’s Day in 1977.
Important Fact: The
February Revolution took place in February 23 (Sunday), 1917 based on the Julian
Calendar, which was then used in Russia, but after the soviet union formation,
the calendar changed to Gregorian calendar in which it is March 8th.
During those days, capitalist would employ more women’s for cheap labour, and
restrict them even from the right to vote. This ultimately led to working
women’s organization.
Is women's day needed?
Women's day is most important day when it's political and social importance is felt. It gives a sense of courage for women to come together, demonstrate, agitate and fight for liberation. It puts great question in our mind do we need women's day in today's formate?
Dilution of importance
Since first celebration of women's day too till this day, world ruling class, capitalist and chauvinist want the significance of the day both politically and socially to be diluted. They never want women to get united with class and oppression consciousness. Over a century they took lots of steps to dilute its importance. Here are few valid point to prove my claims:
- Most of the American and European countries speaks a lot that most democratic countries in the world, yet they never ready to accept international women's day till UN officially announced. Even today its low affair in western countries.
- America came forward to accept the International women's day officially only by 1994.
- Capitalist never want working class women to unit because it may lead to fight against exploitation. Most capitalist even today employ more women with cheap labour cost.
- Even today many corporates never came forward to form a sexual harassment board in work place.
- Women's day today has become a product of consumerization and merchandise. It purposefully diluted the sacrifice and importance of women's day. Even google doodle communicated its International Women's Day a day before official day.
- Fascist, racist and male chauvinist mostly spread a wrong notation about women's day. They played important role in diluting women's right.
- Today's world's largest media houses portray women as sexual object and even attained a huge success were women itself started too feel sexual object.
Roadmap for future women's day
Year 2017 is going to be the 100th year of International Women's Day. Over a century the day as played an important role in many ways like right to vote, workplace rights, etc. Still a long march left out for liberation from male chauvinism and class exploitation. Marx use to specify that working women's were both exploited by capitalist and male. They have to fight against both to liberate themselves. Women's have lot to fight for equal wages with men, harassment board, working women's union, reservation in all places, fight against rape, sexual trading, etc. To speak of it first we need too know political and social significance of the day. Let this women's day may put an end to pinky pinky consumeration and unite hand in hand with millions of women's across the globe.
Happy Women's Day! Long Live Women's Revolution! Long Live Communism!
Its been more than 90 years now since first International Women's day was celebrated. Today, women's day has lost its political and social importance.
