The origin of the day of the woman (Details of the horrible event)
► Today March 8, 2018, we are celebrating the Women's Day, being the consecutive year number 8, since the first international celebration (2011), in 1972 the [General Assembly of the United Nations] (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asamblea_General_de_las_Naciones_Unidas) declared the year 1975 as the International Year of Women
● Despite starting its tradition only in 4 countries which are: Germany, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland, it has been extended to many countries.
● But that is not the point, what I want to achieve with this Post, it is basically at the cultural level of the people, because there is a lot of people who celebrate this day every year without knowing the* origin
