I have mixed opinions about women’s day celebration. I being a woman have always been a feminist and have tried to protect the identity of this gender.
But now, when given a serious thought I strongly feel that why to create such a chaos about women’s day. “I am proud to be a woman. I am special because I am a woman” don’t make much sense. Each human is proud to be what he/she is.
The problem with we women is we have started believing that the opposite sex is stronger than us and hence we find different ways to prove ourselves. On one hand we say we are equal to men and on the other hand we ourselves prove that we are the weaker sex by celebrating such days.
There is just no need to compare Men and Women because there are no common parameters for this comparison. Comparison is nothing but finding out who is better which is not required in this case.
Women’s day celebration don’t hold any importance in my mind because the women who actually need support and help don’t know what women’s day is and neither the people who harass them know about it. Women who can understand and who celebrate this day don’t actually need it because they have that basic knowledge about life and can stand up against wrong.
I feel it is not about standing against any gender. It’s about standing against the wrong. Any human can be wrong – be it a man or a woman.
Fact: It is an irony that a holiday is declared on Women’s day in Afghanistan but it is the same country that also has the maximum number of harassed women.

You expressed your views clearly.
Events took place in more than 100 countries on March 8, 2011 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day.In the United States, President Barack Obama proclaimed March 2011 to be "Women's History Month", calling Americans to mark IWD by reflecting on "the extraordinary accomplishments of women" in shaping the country's history. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton launched the "100 Women Initiative: Empowering Women and Girls through International Exchanges", on the eve of IWD. In the run-up to 2011 International Women's Day, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) called on States and other entities not to relent in their efforts to prevent rape and other forms of sexual violence that harm the lives and dignity of countless women in conflict zones around the world every year.
In Armenia, after the collapse of the Soviet Union celebrations of IWD were abandoned. Instead, April 7 was introduced as state holiday of ‘Beauty and Motherhood’. The new holiday immediately became popular among Armenians, as it commemorates one of the main holidays of the Armenian Church, the Annunciation. However, people still kept celebrating IWD on March 8 as well. Public discussion held on the topic of two ‘Women’s Days’ in Armenia resulted in the recognition of the so called ‘Women’s Month’ which is the period between March 8 and April 7
Again congratulation for your views
