The International Women's Day is celebrated every March 8 and is recognized by the United Nations Organization. It is a day when sexism and inequality of rights and opportunities between men and women are denounced. March 8 has its origin in various specific events: the strike of American textile workers in 1857 and fire on a Cotton factory of New York, on March 25, 1911, where 149 people, mostly women, manifestated their right, many of them where immigrants and very poor, with painful working conditions. The great mobilizations that took place are the origin of the International Women's Day.
