What about women's day? Ten reasons why women's needs to be celebrated

This Saturday is March the 8th : Women's day. I would like you to think about the meaning of this day.




 
Why women's day? 


1. Because we need more women in politics, leadership position, peacemaking position, business, everywhere!
2. Because women are underrepresented. 
3. Because at some point in their career they are less paid than men and meets a glass ceiling
4. Because in many places in the world, women are no one, have no right, cannot vote, drive, take decisions
5. Because in some regions, girls cannot go to school
6. Because women are victims of violence such as domestic violence and rape
7. Because, I am an engineer and I've often got the comment "it is not really normal for a women to be an engineer?” I want to live in a society where this is seen as normal
8. Because in a work environment, from women in her late 20's, telling your boss you have good news, or you don't drink alcohol means directly "Are you pregnant?"
9. Because when a pretty girl gets a job, people often think she got the position because of how she looks like but not based on her skill
10. Because it is not only about women but also about all the society and mankind which have to think which is the place they want to give to women and how they want to contribute
11. Because we celebrate all the women that fought for more equality between men and women
