International Women's Day

On March 8th, we will celebrate International Women's Day.  Many countries across the world will honour women for their contributions to our society.  The focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements.

In some countries, the theme follows that suggest by the United Nations.  This year, the UN theme follows the idea of "a promise is a promise: time for action to end violence against women".  Men and boys are encouraged to stop violence against women and girls.  We can only hope for the best.

At the very least, we, as men, should take time this Friday to express our love and appreciation to that special woman in our lives.

  1. Respectful people are the most important in the world. Men that respect the women not only in their lives but in the world do make the world a better place. Women give birth to boys and yes little girls. If a boy learns to respect and love his mother with cues from a father that respects and loves his wife, it will change the world. Rather than just end the violence, let's have more love and respect! A good post, Roy! It shows you love and respect the people in your life.
