Women's Day - Because it's still necessary to remember women's rights

Friends,

Today is Women's Day.

Apart from the praise women may be granted for all that is in their nature to do, this is still a day to remember that in the start of the XXI Century A.C. (Human kind has been around a great deal longer), there is still the need to recognise and grant women the rights that are due to any human being. The right to freedom of opinion, the right to vote, the right to equal healthcare, the right to equal pay for equal work .

It's appaling that police charges on women's right protesters such as the one last sunday in Istanbul still happen, that 1 out of every 4 women in Europe are still victims of domestic violence, violence against women rages on .

But also let us not forget about our duties as women. Women with the rights (like the right to vote) that don't exercise them, women that adopt "equality" as an excuse to adopt laxist attitudes towards life.

Let us not forget the great women in History that made progress in Science, Politics and Human Rights, surpassing huge obstacles and making way to future progress.

Here's a bit of history about the day.
