International Women's Day
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
International Women's Day is celebrated every year on March 8. Many Communist countries like China, Cuba celebrate this day as a holiday for women. Usually women are given 1/2 day off work. This day is left as a holiday in former Soviet Republics for traditional reasons. Small gifts such as flowers are given to women by children, colleagues and family. Often, schools will have a celebration where students will honor their teachers.
