International Women’s Day History
The
first International Women’s Day was observed on March 19, 1911 in Austria,
Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. More than one million women and men showed
their support of women by participating in public events.In 1977 following the
long-standing movements for women to participate equally in society, the United
Nations General Assembly proclaimed a day for women’s rights and international
peace. Following the United Nations’ lead, Canada chose March 8 as
International Women’s Day.International Women’s Day has grown to become a global
day of recognition and celebration. In many countries it is an official
holiday. In Canada, more than 40 events will be held this year.

Violence
against women won't just disappear – but progress is possible
The
Commission on the Status of Women is meeting at a time of heightened awareness
of gendered violence worldwide
Jessica
Mack guardian.co.uk,
Today,
thousands will descend on New York City for the Commission on the Status of
Women (CSW) at the United Nations. There, governments, international women's
groups and a pope-less Holy See will meet and tussle for the holiest grail:
gender equality. The theme – for the first time in a decade – is the
"elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and
girls".
Just
45 governments are tasked with ensuring a successful outcome for all: a
document encoding agreement on what women deserve – rights, protections, and
freedom from violence. Last year's negotiations, centred around rural women's
rights, produced no agreed conclusions, just disappointment. That makes this
year's stakes quite high, that is, if they actually could be any higher.
Global
figures tell us that one in three women will experience some type of violence
in her lifetime. It is a powerful soundbite, but whatever picture we have is
not the full one.
In
the Maldives, a 15-year-old girl faces 100 public lashes for having premarital
sex. Last month in Papua New Guinea, a young mother accused of being a
"witch" was stripped naked and burned alive. Recent reports from
Egypt suggest that sexual violence, amid continuing protests, is on the rise.
Last
week, here in Thailand I read about a woman axed to death by her abusive
ex-husband while she dined with friends. The week before that, it was a woman
stoned by her husband for socialising with another man. In February, South
African teen Anene Booysen was horrifically – and fatally – gang-raped, just as
a young Indian woman had been several months earlier, more than 9,000
kilometers away.
On
Valentine's Day, South African model Reeva Steenkamp was shot and killed by her
boyfriend Oscar Pistorius. Though it is not yet clear whether her death was a
result of domestic abuse, the way in which Steenkamp has been treated
posthumously is revealing of a culture that could enable such a tragedy in the
first place. As Marina Hyde put it, while Steenkamp's corpse was fresh in the
morgue, her bikini-clad body was splashed on front pages. A former Nigerian
minister blamed her for her own death, calling her "a sexy and pretty
little model who the devil sent [Pistorius's] way".
These
are not isolated incidents. These are symptoms of societies that remain hotbeds
of inequality, systematically failing women. This is happening everywhere.
Violence
against women is not all bloody lips and black eyes, though. It is emotional
abuse and financial control, street harassment and reproductive coercion. At
its root, such violence is about power, sex, how we view masculinity and the
very fabric of our identities.
We
live in societies where rape victims are doubted and blamed, where street
harassment is still treated as a compliment, where women's bodies are sleazily
ogled or cruelly judged, and where gender norms for both men and women remain
uncomfortably restricting. Recent research from Bangladesh found that 98% of
men said that to be a man you need to be "tough", while 81% of those
who had admitted rape said they were motivated by sexual entitlement.
Last
month's One Billion Rising movement, the largest simultaneous global action to
end violence against women that the world has ever seen, did not happen for
fun. It happened because it had to.
No
country is off the hook, including the stewards of this year's CSW. This
includes the Democratic Republic of Congo, dubbed "the rape capital of the
world"; Iran, where women's rights activists are regularly imprisoned;
Russia, where domestic violence is not technically considered a crime; and the
US, where it took an embarrassingly long time to re-authorise the Violence
Against Women Act, and which is one of only a few countries in the world that
has not yet ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination against Women.
While
the existence of violence against women is as old as the human race, and
advocates have been toiling for decades, the time for change is ripe in new
ways. The world is focused on this issue in a way it has not been before.
The
rape and death of a Delhi woman in December reverberated globally in a way such
atrocities really never had before. Just two months later, a high-level
commission had reviewed India's rape legislation along with 80,000 public
testimonies, and the president had signed a new law. Novel efforts like Women
Under Siege's real-time crowdsourced map of sexual assault in Syria is also
helping to make the issue unavoidable.
We
will never live in a violence-free world, though that is a worthy goal. Efforts
to achieve it, at the very least, put us further along the path of progress. We
have increased opportunities to shine the spotlight on violence, examining its
twisted roots in a new light and consider the ways in which each one of us is
implicated. That is certainly something to pay attention to.

As
Afghan forces grow and develop, taking responsibility for lead security in
their country, women too are stepping forward to join the nation's army and
police forces. But those who volunteer for their nation's forces often faces
prejudice and harassment. At a recent conference in Kabul, women working in
Afghan security discussed how best to fight prejudice against them.

and conflict often affects women and children more than men.
Recognizing
the important role women play in building peace, the United Nations Security
Council adopted Resolution 1325 on 31 October 2000.
The
Resolution called for an end to the historic inequality of male and female
participation in resolving conflicts.
This

Billion Rising Pakistan
Do
you, as a Pakistani, refuse to watch as more than one billion women experience
violence on the planet??
"One
Billion Rising" is a Global Campaign started by Eve Ensler. It is an
activist movement to end violence against women and girls. It is being taken up
by different countries across the globe to mobilize the grass root communities,
individual men and women, intellectuals, politicians to raise their voices
against violence against women.
"More
than 1 out of every 3 women on this planet will experience violence during her
lifetime. With 7 billion people on the planet, that's one billion women.
Stopping this violence is as crucial as addressing the issues of disease,
hunger, and climate change," said Eve Ensler. "One Billion
Rising" is a global strike, a call to refuse to participate until rape and
rape culture ends. It's a solidarity reach, a new refusal, and a new way of
being."
One
Billion Rising activists are encouraged to focus on local issues affecting
women and girls including work places, home life, laws and legislators, media
that supports violence against women and girls, and governments or religious institutions
that have not done enough to stop it. This is a people's movement. It is not a
campaign with one face attached to it. It is a campaign that has millions of
women's faces from all over the world. This is an appeal to take proactive
activism forward.
This
video was made by the non government organization Rozan working on on issues of
emotional and mental health.

Billion Rising: Robert Redford on why he is joining Eve Ensler's campaign
READER'S
DIGEST CANADA
One
Billion Rising
There
was a monumental event that took place on February 14 this year that seems went
largely unnoticed by much of the mainstream media no, not Valentine’s Day—an
event called “One Billion Rising” a global campaign to end violence against
women and girls. To be honest, I had heard nothing about it until I came across
a news piece done by NPR in the states. The event called for one billion women
around the world to join together and dance in a show of collective strength.
The word billion refers to the statistic that one in three women will be raped
or beaten in their lifetime, or about one billion—that’s shocking. ?The
campaign was founded by playwright and activist Eve Ensler who said, ?“Today
the dancing begins and with this dancing we express our outrage and joy and our
firm global call for a world where women are free and safe and cherished and
equal. Dance with your body, for your body, for the bodies of women and the
earth.” ?The rally was held in more than 190 countries including most major
cities in Canada and was deemed a success by organizers as women from all walks
of life joined in mass dance movements and flash mobs around the world—what a
joyous way to send such an important message.?To see much more about this
movement go to www.onebillionrising.org.

AMAZON- DON'T PAY TAXES AND T-SHIRTS SAY
'RAPE A LOT'
Amazon
row over 'rape' T-shirt Amazon has yet to respond to a BBC request for a
comment
Internet
retailer Amazon is continuing to list clothes from a US firm despite a row over
a T-shirt printed with the message: "Keep calm and rape a lot."
On
Friday, US company Solid Gold Bomb apologised for selling the T-shirt and
removed it from sale, saying a listing was automatically generated in error.
Earlier
on Saturday the firm had T-shirts for sale with messages including "keep
calm and hit her".
An
Amazon statement said later "those items are not available for sale".
The
T-shirts are based on the World War II wartime propaganda slogan "keep
calm and carry on".
Among
the 8,425 T-shirts still offered for sale by the company on the Amazon site at
12:00 GMT on Saturday were those with the slogans "keep calm and knife
her" and "keep calm and grope a lot".
By
14:00 GMT, all items listed for sale by Solid Gold Bomb were unavailable to buy
with visitors unable to click on the "add to basket" button.
Solid
Gold Bomb said any offensive items were "certainly in the deletion queue
and will be removed as soon as the processing is complete".
'Mellow-harsher'
The
sale of the T-shirts has been criticised by former Labour deputy leader Lord
Prescott, who said on Twitter: "First Amazon avoids paying UK tax. Now
they're make money from domestic violence."
Times
journalist and author Caitlin Moran tweeted: "Wow. Keep Calm & Hit Her
T-shirts on Amazon. What a massive mellow-harsher."
In
Friday's statement, Solid Gold Bomb said it had been "informed of the fact
that we were selling an offensive T-shirt primarily in the UK".
It
added: "This has been immediately deleted as it was and had been
automatically generated using a scripted computer process running against
hundreds of thousands of dictionary words."
The
company said it accepted "the responsibility of the error and our doing
our best to correct the issues at hand.
"We're
sorry for the ill-feeling this has caused."

Ulrike Lunacek (Austria), Sirpa Pietikäinen (Finland), Renate Weber (Romania),
Cecilia Wikström (Sweden). They were joined by many more MEPs, including
Michael Cashman (UK), Nikos Chrysogelos (Greece), Leonidas Donskis (Lithuania),
Mikael Gustafsson (Sweden, chair of the EP committee on women's rights and
gender equality), Jean Lambert (UK), Barbara Lochbihler (Germany, chair of the
subcommittee on Human Rights), Baroness Sarah Ludford (UK, Vice-Chair of the
ALDE Group), Marisa Matias (Portugal), Martina Anderson (UK), Judith Merkies
