Nowadays this holidays does not
symbolize the women’s fight for the equality and emancipation as it was in the
beginning of the XX century. There were some virtually insane ways of
celebrations, e.g. one old Soviet newspaper mentioned: “the women have
celebrated the International Women’s Day by going on foot from Minsk to Bobruysk
in gas masks”…
In Europe women mostly feel enough equal and
independent from men so should this holiday still exist? Yes, because what we
need today is more women-leaders. Women who become a great inspiration for
other women. There is no holiday that can empower and strengthen women. But one
woman by her example can. And today my biggest inspiration is Nadiya Savchenko.
