International Women's day.

                               

Women's day is a commemoration of women’s fight against discrimination, in order to let them participate and be part of society. In our country this particular day it is not as important as it should be: actually, retail stores are the ones that remind us about this day, but in a more commercial way. We need to know what is the real purpose of this day and celebrate it as it should be.

Big stores show us the image that in days like these we have to buy a present to our female relatives—mother, daughter, etc.—in order to show them that we are grateful for what they do for us and that they are important for us.

But we need to go beyond the commercial ideas and be more reflective about this day. We cannot be part of the "system" and be so superficial, thinking that this day is just because women are the most beautiful creation on earth. Women's day is celebrated to remember how women had to fight against discrimination, against segregation and sexism. In earlier times, women couldn’t even give their opinion about certain topics, since just men had the voice to choose or take decisions.

Nowadays we need to create awareness in society, ending with a superficial day, a day that has important foundations that unfortunately people don't know.
