[ Go published on Demosphere ]
March 8 their spots. At first, one day, undated, was driven by the revolutionary German Clara Zetkin at the Second International Conference of Socialist Women in 1910 to support women's struggles for voting rights in particular.
In 1911, the impact of this call is such that millions of women demonstrate on March 19 (referring to the revolution of 1848) in Europe and the United States.
On 8 March 1917 (23 February in the Gregorian calendar) marked the beginning of the Russian Revolution of February when workers were on strike and asked the Steelworkers to support them. This date was taken up by the contemporary feminist movement in the years 1970 as "International Day to fight women."
But in 1977, the United Nations "institutionalize" the date "International Women's Day." Since March 8 sometimes dissipates into the frail scent of roses to celebrate the "Feast of women" or even " the woman." Half of humanity does not need to be celebrated. For us, March 8 is always on the side of the fight even if our struggle is every day.
So what are we going to do in Paris this year, let us by scraping head (or without scratching the head). One thing won out: the international solidarity. A nice breath of revolution on the side of Egypt and Tunisia. Women are involved in mass from the beginning. They want their achievements are maintained but also that their rights were greatly expanded in order to achieve equality between women and men. Some previous revolutions women returned home, we know consider the history. Tunisian women want for example that in the constitution the policy is separate from religion. 100% agree.
Other countries, boosted by the leap, have moved and some surrendered, Algeria, Iran and even Bahrain and Yemen. Iran and Algeria feminist traditions that we support. No information on Yemen and Bahrain. War in Afghanistan, women pay a heavy price.
Shortly we will be in the streets to support women in combat. But on March 8 falls on a Tuesday .. To have more time we will demonstrate the Saturday before: March 5 .....
We will meet March 5 at 14:30 at the Trocadero Plaza of Human Rights and we will protest in rallies outside the embassies of Iran, Egypt and Algeria. With requests to speak in support of Tunisia ... not to mention Afghanistan.
We will not forget for all the situation that we made here in terms of wage inequality, threats to the right to abortion, the dismantling of the public hospital, the Law on violence need to implement and complete.
So on March 5 in the street in Paris at 14:30 in Trocadero with your banners, enthusiasm and dynamism ...
