Haiti - Social : «The woman, the cement of living together» By Evans Paul 09/03/2021 11:58:58
"Women, the glue of living together" by Évans Paul "Following the International Women's Year of 1975, International Women's Rights Day is adopted by the United Nations on March 8, 1977. This day is the consecration of long years of women's struggles for the recognition and respect of their political and social rights. 164 years ago, on March 8, 1857, women garment workers demonstrated in New York City, United States, demanding the same wages as men for equal work. 53 years later, on February 28, 1909, at the call of the Socialist Party of America, the United States celebrated "National Women's Day." The following year, in August 1910, on a proposal from the German citizen Clara Zetkin, at the second international conference of socialist women, the idea of an 'International Women's Day' was adopted by a hundred women. coming from 17 countries, gathered in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. Russia in 1921, was the first country to formalize this event, which became a public holiday, but not non-working until 1965. This celebration will remain confined to the countries of the Soviet socialist bloc for a long time, until the end of the 1960s. It was finally in 1977 that the United Nations made this important day dedicated to women's rights universal. In Haiti, from Cécile Fatiman in 1791 to Bois-Caïman, passing by Marie Jeanne to Crête-à-Pierrot in 1802, to our brave "Madam Sara and militants" of today, on all levels, Haitian women, form the pillar of our society. This, even in politics where she is relatively discreet at the front of the scene, the Haitian woman represents a significant asset. At this crucial moment in national life, the involvement of women at the highest level of debates is essential. Thanks to her particular sensitivity, the woman is endowed with a remarkable capacity for conciliation allowing her to work for this lasting agreement which the Haitian nation for too long torn apart so much needs nowadays. May the forty-fourth anniversary of the celebration of International Women's Rights Day, this Monday, March 8, 2021, be for avant-garde Haitian women, the opportunity for a decisive breakthrough, capable of helping to reconcile the antagonisms that make Haiti and the Haitian people unhappy. Far from nurturing harmful conflictual rivalries between men and women, World Women's Day pleads for gender harmonization through respect for women on the one hand and the encouragement of their socio-political integration on the other. The bet of a Haitian society that is fairer and much more oriented towards progress, peace and prosperity will prove to be durably plausible, by genuinely involving women in the major projects of the present and the future of the country. Because, it is necessary to stop all the forms of sexist discrimination, to build one with the other, the society of justice and tolerance, to which we aspire, knowing that the "Woman is the cement of living together".
