Today, March 8th, is celebrated as International Women's Day. Women employed in the clothing and textile industry publicly demonstrated on this day, back in 1857, in New York, demanding shorter working hours, writes the BH News Agency Patria.
After that, protests followed on the same day in subsequent years, the largest of which was in 1908 when 15,000 women marched through the streets of New York demanding their rights.
At a conference held in Copenhagen in 1910, at the initiative of the famous German socialist Clara Zetkin, it was decided that March 8th would be celebrated as International Women's Day. The following year, this holiday was celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland.
The editorial office of the BH News Agency Patria wishes all members of the fairer sex a happy Women's Day.
