WHICH DAY IS THE WOMEN'S DAY?
On March 8, 1857, 40,000 textile workers went on strike in a textile factory in New York, USA, demanding better working conditions. 120 female workers lost their lives as a result of the police attacking the workers and locking the workers in the factory, and the subsequent fire that the workers could not escape from the barricades in front of the factory. 10,000 thousand people attended the funeral of the workers. Clara Zetkin, one of the leaders of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, at the women's meeting of the 2nd International (International Socialist Women's Conference) in Copenhagen, Denmark on 26-27 August 1910, in memory of the female workers who died in the textile factory fire on March 8, 1857, "Internationaler Frauentag" (International Women's Day) and the proposal was unanimously accepted. It was held at the 3rd International Women's Conference (3rd International Communist Parties Meeting) held in Moscow in 1921 on the proposal of Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union. It was named "International Working Women's Day". International Women's Day, which was forbidden to be commemorated in some countries that were afraid of the spread of socialism between the years of the First and Second World War, came to the agenda more strongly in Western Bloc countries as it began to be commemorated in various demonstrations in the United States in the late 1960s. The United Nations General Assembly accepted on December 16, 1977, to commemorate March 8 as "International Women's Day". On the official website of the United Nations, it was not written that the celebration was held in memory of female workers who died in New York in the section on the date of the day.
