International Women’s Day

Silent warriors of change

The Statesman, bidding a bye to Women’s History Month, hereby platforms the voices of women who felt that experiences and struggles, which are often overlooked due to their gender, can be enlightening.

Metaphorical Slaps

As the world gears up to celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March, a pertinent question looms ~ how far have we truly come in achieving gender equality? In India, women have risen to positions of power, yet they continue to battle the deeply entrenched patriarchal mindset that seeks to diminish their contributions and limit their aspirations.

Empowering journeys illuminate Women’s Day

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Dr Minu Budhia was facilitated by St, Xavier’s College for her Exemplary work in mental health. The citation and the award was given by Principal, Rev, Father, Dominic Savio.

I would like to see International Women’s Day maintained as a day that honours working women: Geraldine Forbes

As a historian, I would like to see International Women’s Day maintained as a day that honours working women and reminds us of the problems they face. The first International Women’s Day, held in February 1909 in New York, commemorated the 1908 strike of women garment industry workers. The next year, the Socialist International declared 8 March a day to honour the movement for women’s rights. However, all celebrations change with time and location.
