【The origin of "Women's Day"】
On March 8, 1909, women workers in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and workers in the national textile and clothing industry staged the first organized mass struggle for higher wages, an eight-hour working day, and the right to vote.
This time the struggle of women's organizations also fully limited the power of working women, and this struggle also won the wide sympathy and enthusiastic response of the women masses in other countries throughout the country and even the world, and finally won the victory.
In 1911, many countries held women's day commemorations, and since then, the activities of this year's 38 Women's Day have gradually expanded to the world.
March 8, 1911 also became the first International Working Women's Day.
On March 8, 1924, at the Kuomintang Congress held in Guangzhou, a proposal was put forward that women were equal in law, economy and education, which also became an opportunity for Women's Day to take root in China.
In December 1949, the Central People's Government Service Council designated March 8 as Women's Day.
In 1977, the United Nations General Assembly also officially designated March 8 as the "United Nations Women's Rights Day and International Day of Peace".
【Women's Day etiquette】
Women's Day is the most respected day for women, and there are many international rituals.
One of the most important etiquettes is "ladies first", which means ladies first or ladies first.
This requires that men, regardless of the occasion or circumstance, should respect, care, assist and protect women in all respects and in all respects, respecting the principle of women first.
For example, when men and women go together, men should walk on the outside side, and if they cannot go along, then women should be allowed to go first;
When riding the car, you should let the lady get on the bus first, and when you get off the bus, you need the man to get off first, and then take care of the lady to get off the bus;
In some public places, boys should open the door for girls, and when they see women entering the door at dinner parties, boys should get up to show politeness.
In fact, this principle of giving priority to women is not only applicable on Women's Day, but also in daily life, everyone should respect and protect women, especially their wives, mothers and daughters, and other female friends in the family.
