    I think that women have traditionally been under-represented and it’s important to
    keep addressing the lack of balance in our society. So much has changed for
    women in the last 20 years or so. But it really annoys me when it’s used to
    demand special treatment or when it’s used by companies to boost their sales. A
    supermarket near me had a big display of chocolates and wine as a celebration.
    Really? Stop using the issue of women’s rights to market your products. It’s
    insulting!
    Tracy - Singapore

    In real terms I don’t think it really means anything, and, in some ways, it’s a bit
    patronising. However, it is a nice gesture. At least some effort is being made to
    recognize women and their contribution to society. My two children wore purple
    clothes to school today and I wore a purple vest to teach and train in. I posted
    about all the women who help me on social media, from my mother, to my sister-
    in-law, to my friend who have helped me out in times of real need
    Kati - Belgium
    I grew up in Hungary where it was celebrated each year. I’ve always disliked it.
    Women there did not have to battle with getting to work in the same way as they
    did in the West, but it was not an equal society in any way, shape or form. There
    was a very solid glass ceiling for women. Just the other day, I was watching a
    video of a government meeting and there were zero women in it. Not a single one.
    As a result, I am very sarcastic about it due to all of those years with double
    standards. I don’t mind others celebrating the day, but I don’t personally. I thing
    there should be more Women’s Days - at least 365 of them
    Marjorie - Austria
    I’m originally fromthe United States and Equal Rights laws were
    passed there in 1971, but they couldn’t get enough states to vote for it.
    The time limit ran out and they are still trying to extend it. Now some
    states limiting women’s rights again and it looks like they are in danger.
    I still don’t know why we have so few women in positions of power in
    countries around the world. However, I’m amazed by the women who
    are show so much courage around the world, particularly those in
    Ukraine and the surrounding countries who are showing such bravery
    in the face of danger. I was marching today with female friends in
    Graz to celebrate the day and keep women’s right as a topic of focus
    Vale - Argentina
    During the pandemic, there were 288 females killed here in Argentina which was
    one murder every 30 hours. So far in 2022, there have been 51 females murdered
    here; one every 28 hours. So partly for this reason I will be out demonstrating in
    my city today; it’s going to be huge and there will be demonstrations all across
    Argenia. We will be playing the drums which is traditionally what men do. ~I will be
    joining a group of native American women who come from the same area as me.
    Lots of native lands have been sold to rich people from other nations. This has
    negatively affected them as they farmed and used the land to survive and now,
    they are being left without anything. This has been goin on for well over 100 years
    and women are being pushed out. Women have not been recognized in all areas
    of life, but particularly financially and economically and we don’t have the same
    possibilities as men, even today.
