My dearest and adorable friends
The 8th of March commemorates the International
Women’s Day
This day has its roots in the March 8, 1857, revolt of
American women in New York City, protesting conditions in the textile and
garment industries, although it wasn't proclaimed a holiday until 1910.
International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on progress
made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by
ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their
countries and communities.
The 2016 theme for International Women’s Day is “Planet
50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality”.
And in Mauritius we are already working on it and we are
also proud to have a woman as President of the country.
The importance of women in our society has never been
questioned though in some countries they are still striking to make a
breakthrough.
We will end today’s mail…with a quote related to the topic
of the day…Behind every successful man there is a woman….So guys it’s something
to think about J
Have a nice rainy day….Rain for the whole day as per Meteo..
