But because this date was chosen to honor mothers, grandmothers, wives, girlfriends, friends?
The time is right to remember the story... On this day, in the year 1857, the textile workers of a factory in New York went on strike, occupying the factory, to demand the reduction of time of more than 16 hours per day for 10 hours. These workers, in their 16 hours, earned less than a third of the salary of men, which were sealed at the factory, however, declared himself a fire, and about 130 women burned to death. In 1910, an international women's conference held in Denmark, it was decided to honor these women, celebrate March 8 as "International Women's Day." Since then the movement for the emancipation of women has taken shape, both in Portugal and the rest of the world.
The intention with the celebration of this day?
It is intended to draw attention to the role and dignity of women and lead to an awareness of the value of the person understand their role in society, to challenge and review biases and limitations that have been imposed on women.
