Message from #GGSimon on the occasion of International Women’s Day: gg.ca/en/media/news/…

Happy International Women's Day!

A century ago, March 8 was not only a celebration. It was a cry for dignity. In 1909, women in New York marked a National Woman’s Day organized by the Socialist Party of America. They were fighting for better pay, safer work, and the right to be heard. At that time, many women worked long hours. They earned less than men. They had little power over the decisions that shaped their lives. Then in 1910, at an international conference in Copenhagen, a German activist named Clara Zetkin shared a bold idea. She said one day each year should belong to women everywhere. A day when women could unite their voices and demand equality. The idea spread. In 1911, more than a million people across Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland joined the first International Women’s Day events. Women marched not for attention, but for rights. For work. For respect. For a better future. But the reason March 8 became unforgettable came a few years later. In 1917, in Petrograd, Russia, women went into the streets demanding “Bread and Peace.” They were tired of war, hunger, poverty, and loss. These were mothers. Daughters. Wives. Workers. Women who had carried pain in silence. But on that day, they refused to stay quiet. Their protest became one of the sparks that helped start the Russian Revolution. That is why March 8 matters. It is not just another date on the calendar. It is a date written by women who stood up when the world expected them to endure in silence. Women who fought not only for themselves, but for generations they would never meet. Years later, the world officially recognized what history had already shown. In 1975, the United Nations began observing International Women’s Day. In 1977, it called on countries around the world to honor women’s rights and international peace. So today, when we say Happy Women’s Day, we are not only celebrating beauty, kindness, and love. We are honoring the woman who cries in private and smiles in public. The woman who gives up her dreams for her children. The woman who holds the house, the family, and everyone else together. The woman who keeps giving even when no one asks if she is tired. The woman who survives things she never speaks about. Women’s Day is not only about celebrating women. It is about thanking women for carrying life, pain, hope, and love all at once. Some women changed history in the streets. Some changed history inside small homes that no one will ever write about. Both matter. Both deserve to be remembered. Remember the women who changed the world and were often never fully thanked for it. March 8 belongs to them.
