Der Krieg in der Ukraine wird auch von Frauen ausgefochten, an der Front oder beim Schutz der Kinder. Außenministerin Baerbock hat sie nun gewürdigt – und auch an Russinnen und Belarussinnen eine Botschaft gerichtet.

8th March 2022 is International Women's Day and while I apologise for the Destiny's Child earworm in the title of my shot, I make no apologies for raising the issue of equality for women.
Even in the 21st Century there are women treated as unequal, as property and even as slaves. While there are obvious biological differences between sexes, we are all made of flesh, bone and blood. In fact every human foetus is phenotypically female for the first 6 to 7 weeks of development.
We are one species on one tiny blue oasis in the vastness of space. We all deserve equality in how we are treated, considered and respected irrespective of sex or gender, or indeed any other label that can be applied.
We are human.
I hope you enjoy this previously unpublished shot from April 2017. Be safe my Flickr friends. #IWD2022
Star Wars would have been a very different film if Princess Leia hadn't managed to sneak those Death Star plans into R2. And without Jyn Erso the plans wouldn't be in the hands of the rebels in the first place.
Here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them. #IWD #IWD2022
111 years of history:
1911
Following the decision agreed at Copenhagen in 1911, International Women's Day (IWD) was honoured the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on 19 March. More than one million women and men attended IWD rallies campaigning for women's rights to work, vote, be trained, to hold public office and end discrimination. However less than a week later on 25 March, the tragic 'Triangle Fire' in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working women, most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants. This disastrous event drew significant attention to working conditions and labour legislation in the United States that became a focus of subsequent International Women's Day events. 1911 also saw women's 'Bread and Roses' campaign.
1913-1914
On the eve of World War I campaigning for peace, Russian women observed their first International Women's Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. In 1913 following discussions, International Women's Day was transferred to 8 March and this day has remained the global date for International Wommen's Day ever since. In 1914 further women across Europe held rallies to campaign against the war and to express women's solidarity.
1917
On the last Sunday of February, Russian women began a strike for "bread and peace" in response to the death over 2 million Russian soldiers in war. Opposed by political leaders the women continued to strike until four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. The date the women's strike commenced was Sunday 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia. This day on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere was 8 March.
1918 - 1999
Since its birth in the socialist movement, International Women's Day has grown to become a global day of recognition and celebration across developed and developing countries alike. For decades, IWD has grown from strength to strength annually. For many years the United Nations has held an annual IWD conference to coordinate international efforts for women's rights and participation in social, political and economic processes. 1975 was designated as 'International Women's Year' by the United Nations. Women's organisations and governments around the world have also observed IWD annually on 8 March by holding large-scale events that honour women's advancement and while diligently reminding of the continued vigilance and action required to ensure that women's equality is gained and maintained in all aspects of life.
2000 and beyond
IWD is now an official holiday in Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, China (for women only), Cuba, Georgia, Guinea-Bissau, Eritrea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Madagascar (for women only), Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Nepal (for women only), Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Zambia. The tradition sees men honouring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues, etc with flowers and small gifts. In some countries IWD has the equivalent status of Mother's Day where children give small presents to their mothers and grandmothers.
The new millennium has witnessed a significant change and attitudinal shift in both women's and society's thoughts about women's equality and emancipation. Many from a younger generation feel that 'all the battles have been won for women' while many feminists from the 1970's know only too well the longevity and ingrained complexity of patriarchy. With more women in the boardroom, greater equality in legislative rights, and an increased critical mass of women's visibility as impressive role models in every aspect of life, one could think that women have gained true equality. The unfortunate fact is that women are still not paid equally to that of their male counterparts, women still are not present in equal numbers in business or politics, and globally women's education, health and the violence against them is worse than that of men.
However, great improvements have been made. We do have female astronauts and prime ministers, school girls are welcomed into university, women can work and have a family, women have real choices. And so the tone and nature of IWD has, for the past few years, moved from being a reminder about the negatives to a celebration of the positives.
GoogleAnnually on 8 March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women's craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more.
Many global corporations have also started to more actively support IWD by running their own internal events and through supporting external ones. For example, on 8 March search engine and media giant Google some years even changes its logo on its global search pages. Year on year IWD is certainly increasing in status. The United States even designates the whole month of March as 'Women's History Month'.
So make a difference, think globally and act locally !! Make everyday International Women's Day. Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.
The internationalwomensday.com website was created and is managed by Australian entrepreneur and women's campaigner Glenda Stone as a global hub of IWD events and information.
Ms Stone says "A decade ago International Women's Day was disappearing. Activity in Europe, where International Women's Day actually began, was very low. Providing a global online platform helped sustain and accelerate momentum for this important day. Holding only a handful of events ten years ago, the United Kingdom has now become the global leader for International Women's Day activity, followed sharply by Canada, United States and Australia.
Have we come much further, today, 2022?
A bit, I think. Small steps at a time.
But still. For example, the wage difference here, between women and men, doing the very same job, is still significantly different.

Greetings on the International Women’s Day!
Women are often the worst affected by conflict. They often become targets of sexual violence, their husbands and children may be killed – leaving them without support. But women are also key to rebuilding peace and resilience and today we are celebrating their important role.
Let's unite for an equal sustainable and peaceful world! #IWD2022

On International Women’s Day, the United States was pleased to join the Mission of Israel and others to support a special event at the United Nations in Geneva on the inclusion of women in the technological world of work.
“Today, there are seven women on the stage: founders, directors, leaders, and I am proud to share this important day with them along with women and girls here in Geneva and around the world tuning in virtually,” said Ambassador Michèle Taylor, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations Human Rights Council.
"The tech industry may be the world’s youngest industrial sector, but it has inherited some very old problems" said Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau, and discussion moderator. The full power of technology cannot be leveraged, she added, "while we still struggle with a gaping digital gender divide."
The event hosted by Ambassador Meirav Eilon Shahar, Permanent Representative of Israel, featured the following panelists: Dr. Galit Desheh, Professional Manager, Power in Diversity; Dr. Vivienne Ming, Founder, Socos Labs / Board Member, Parliament 51; Ms. Jenni Lukander, President, Nokia Technologies; Ms. Janet Fofang, Founder of the Tassah Academy, Ms. Olga Maximová; Head of Nonprofit Development, Czechitas; Ms. Regine Grienberger, Ambassador for Cyber Foreign Policy, Germany. #IWD2022
