Sunday March 8th was International Women’s Day. All over the world, there were marches, protests and a variety of events or\u00a0eventos<\/em> to commemorate this day. In Mexico, women marched to protest the rising violence. On Monday March 9th, they staged what was perhaps one of the biggest protests in the history of the country: Un D\u00eda Sin Mujeres.<\/em><\/p>\n

D\u00eda Internacional de la Mujer<\/h3>\n

International Women’s Day has been celebrated since 1911. In 1975, the UN asked all its members to to officially declare March 8th the day of International Women’s Rights. This day is not meant to only celebrate women for being women; it is more a day to remember what\u00a0derechos<\/em> or rights have been achieved throughout the feminist movements, and to create awareness of what still has to be done.<\/p>\n

There are two common misconception about the\u00a0movimiento feminista<\/em> or feminist movement that the video below clarifies. First, the movement is not uniform in goals and methods. Different group of feminist men and women fight for different things. Second, the movement is not meant to “take down” men and make them lesser, but rather to give women equal opportunities in all aspects of society. The video below explains the feminist movements throughout history.<\/p>\n
