Happy Women's Day to you all - especially women! Starting as a socialist political event, Women's Day is celebrated today somewhat the same way as Mother's Day all around the world, celebrating women per se. But also bringing out the need to improve their human rights. The United Nations has every year a different theme for International Women's Day. This year's theme is "A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women". On a lighter note, don't forget to get tulips to at least one woman in your life - or her lempikukka - or in some other way show your lugupidamine of her. She's well worth it!
Hyvää naistenpäivää!
Head naistepäeva!
