A-Infos (en) Colombia, International Day of Working Women by Anarchist Student Group (ca)[machine translation]

In the history of the struggle for the emancipation of women, on March 8, reminds us, one 
of the most significant, is the date in which working women with tenacity and 
encouragement seasoned, commemorate and make it clear that they are not the weaker sex, 
thus vindicating its active role in both the public areas historically reserved for men, 
citizens and owners as well as private areas absurdly reduced to housework. Today we are 
once again with the opportunity to create and recreate the new dynamics of a society free 
from gender oppression and more just and egalitarian sense, but while this struggle 
against patriarchy do occur in everyday life and gives no place a truce. ---- It is worth 
remembering a little about the origins of the commemorative date: In the early twentieth 
century, in 1911, in the month of March, the International Conference of Socialist Women, 
when it was decided that historically meet for the achievements remembrar struggles for 
Women's Rights and where a special effort was made ââequal to work side by side with men.

That first year on March 19 held such celebration in Germany. However, on 25 March, 
factory workers "Triangle Shirtwaist Company" in New York, while occupying the premises as 
leverage so naturally their share (equal working conditions and equal conditions ) were 
burnt inside the factory. Although this was not the only situation of struggle, if it 
resulted in the union of efforts across the world against all forms of domination and 
discrimination against women and is the commemorative character of these struggles. Yet, 
today 8 March 2013/10 thanks to the strength and persistence of women in history is that 
their role in this very visible case is over, they have recognized their rights and 
disputes, has fought prevailing machismo and has been included in the development of 
society. But our struggles should be increasingly strong and positive for society 
eradicating patriarchy has historically inherited and reproduced logic of domination " No 
social change has been without a revolution. Individuals or unfamiliar with their history, 
or have not yet learned that revolution is the thinking into action . "Emma Goldman
