International Women’s Day (IWD) 2011

Did you know that the first International Women’s Day (IWD) was on 19 March 1911 in Germany? However, after 1977 (Hey! It was the year I was born), the United Nations General Assembly set March 8 as the United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace. So there you have it: March 8, or better known in Chinese as 三八妇女节

So today marks the 100th anniversary. How Cool!

Women all over the world, its Your Day Today! *smile* Enjoy!
