In 1910, it was suggested an International Women's Day be observed dur- ing a Socialist International Conference in 1910. The very first International Women's Day was held March 19, 1911. Tragically, a few days later the Triangle Fire occurred in New York City, killing 140 young female garment workers. This incident had a great impact on labour legislation concerning safety in the workplace as the Triangle Shirtwaist Company's negligence was blamed for the tragedy. International Women's Day observers used the day to remember the hor- rendous working conditions proceeding the fire. In Russia and Europe during this period, women were marking International Women's Day by supporting the peace movement. On February 23,1917, Russian women went on strike for economic security and peace. Four days later, with the abdication of the Czar, women were given the right to vote by the new government. Russia went by the Julian calendar, meaning February 23 translated to March 8 on the Gregorian calendar. Since that time International Women's Day has marked women's achievements while reminding us that we still have much to do to ensure equality for women everywhere. The United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women states that on average women are paid up to 40 per cent less for the same work as men and a leading cause of disability and death among women is rape and domestic abuse. International Women's Day is a day when people everywhere should be remembering the struggles of the past, and looking towards a brighter future, PHOTO but it should also be a celebration of women's achievements.
