Today, March 8, is the International Working Women's Day. The first day was observed on 28 February 1909 in the United States. In 1910 Clara Zetkin tabled the idea of an Internation Women's Day and it finally was honoured the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on 19 March.
Now this day is an official holiday Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, China, Madagascar (only for women), Cuba, Moldova, Montenegro, Russia...
The tradition sees men honouring their mothers, wives, girlfriends, colleagues... with flowers and small gifts. In some countrien this day has the equivalent status of the Mother's Day.
