It is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women.<br /> Started as a political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries (primarily Russia and the countries of former Soviet bloc). In some celebrations, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love to the women around them in a way somewhat similar to Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day mixed together. In others, however, the political and human rights theme as designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner.<br /> The IWD is also celebrated as the first spring holiday, as in the listed countries the first day of March is considered the first day of the spring season.<br /> <br /> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p> NaPix -- (Time out) portrait asia southeastasia day rice paddy mother vietnam international planting sapa hmong women’s napix http://www.flickr.com/photos/napix/5502771226/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/napix/">NaPix -- (Time out)</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/napix/5502771226/" title="What’s next?"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5257/5502771226_48a6406fd9_m.jpg" width="240" height="240" alt="What’s next?" /></a></p> <p>Hmong mother of two, lost in thoughts over a glass of hot water.</p> Sun, 06 Mar 2011 07:13:33 -0800 2011-02-19T10:32:53-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (NaPix -- (Time out)) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/5502771226 What’s next? <p>Hmong mother of two, lost in thoughts over a glass of hot water.</p> NaPix -- (Time out) portrait bw woman water glass thinking hmong pondering napix bestportraitsaoi http://www.flickr.com/photos/napix/5461705466/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/napix/">NaPix -- (Time out)</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/napix/5461705466/" title="Smiles, tears and fun.."><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5091/5461705466_d32a810d0a_m.jpg" width="240" height="240" alt="Smiles, tears and fun.." /></a></p> <p>Older brother Giang (back, right) just has to annoy younger brother Nga until Bo, who is like a sister, comes to the rescue.
