Women of the world: Roots and Wings Title

A Day to remember, celebrate and act

Every March 8, the world stops to honor the courage, tenacity and tireless fighting spirit of women through International Women's Day. It's not just a date on the calendar; is a global movement that celebrates the achievements of women in all fields, while highlighting the continued need for gender equality and justice. In the current context, where voices for equality resonate louder than ever, this day takes on renewed relevance, reminding us of the long road traveled and the one still left to travel.

Roots of a revolution: brief history

International Women's Day has its origins in the first decades of the 20th century, born from labor struggles and the suffrage movements. Initially driven by socialist and working women demanding better working conditions, voting rights and equality, the day has evolved into a global symbol of struggle and hope. From the New York garment workers' demonstrations in 1908 to its official recognition by the United Nations in 1975, International Women's Day has been a beacon of change and progress.

Curiosities that inspire

Did you know that in some countries, International Women's Day is so celebrated that it is considered a holiday, with men honoring the women in their lives with flowers and gifts? Or that in different parts of the world, this day is marked with protests, debates, artistic events and conferences, all aimed at promoting equality and justice? These traditions underscore the diversity and richness of this day, echoing its universal importance.

Women who break the mold

From Marie Curie, the pioneer in the field of radioactivity, to Malala Yousafzai, the young education activist, women have been at the forefront of social, scientific and cultural changes throughout history. In art, figures like Frida Kahlo have challenged gender norms and bravely expressed her identities and struggles through her work. In technology, women like Grace Hopper have been instrumental in developing the foundations of modern computing. These profiles not only celebrate individual achievements, but also serve as beacons of inspiration for future generations.
