Women for Change will be preparing for the International Women’s Day Celebrations that we will take place in Chongwe, one of the districts in Zambia. We will be participating in a march along with the YWCA, and NGOCC (Non-Governmental Orgnaisations’ Coordinating Council).
In the world in which we live, It is saddening to have only one day in the entire year to dedicate to all the women in the world. Women bring so many gifts to the world and make up over slightly 50% of the human population.
I looked at the international calendar, and kindly remind you to mark these days down.
March 8-International Women’s Day
March 22-World day for Water
March 29-Earth Hour- 8pm local time
April 2-International Children’s Book day
April 7-World Health Day
April 22-Earth Day
June 16- International Day of the African Child
August 9- International Day of the Worlds Indigenous Peoples.
September 8-International literacy day
October 16- World Food Day
October 17-International Day for the eradication of poverty
November 25-International Day for the elimination of violence against women
December 1-World AIDS day
December 10-Human Rights Day
All of these dates, are to remind the world, these issue still persist. Many people fight year round for these causes. Luckily, there isn’t complete oblivion and these days do exist to educate people who may not know or understand the extent of the issues.
It’s silly to think there is a World Frog Day. That one I don’t understand. LOL Quiet curious actually! but I know I’m getting kind of preachy lately but my goal is to educate you, and share what it is like to live half a world away from you.
