3月8日的鐘聲已經敲響，每年的這個時候，總會有男士在一些年輕女士面前說：“祝你節日快樂！”也是每年的這個時候，總會聽到那些女士回答：“我有那么老嗎？”三八國際婦女節，到底是為誰開的節日？難道是為七八十的老太？還是專門提醒那些結了婚、看上去老氣橫秋的女人？ 2006年3月8日，我們試圖以最清晰明了的手法、從不同側面向您傳遞這樣一個信息：國際婦女節是全世界所有女人的節日，只要您在性別上可以被界定為“女”性，您就有權利和義務來接受來自各方的祝福。同時，在您享受幸福和關愛的時候，請不要忘記關注一下世界其它地區不曾擁有同等幸福權利的女性…

International Women's Day (IWD) occurs on 8 March annually and is an occasion marked by women's groups around the world.   Sent an E-card to a female friend   An introduction to the Internatioanl Women's Day Aside from a brief history of the International Women's Day (IWD), this article introduces to you the symbolic meaning of IWD and the themes for IWD that UN puts on the top agenda of the year. Come on, lets enjoy the knowledge related to IWD. 每一年的3月8日，慶祝國際婦女節是我們不變的主題。可是，您可曾真正試圖了解這一節日的內涵，意義及歷史淵源？清晰的講解、有趣的話題，會讓您淘盡有關婦女節的知識之寶。   Internationalt Lysistrata Project: let's make love, not war.   Make love, not war It is said that the world would not enjoy permanent peace since men were born warriors; whereas others say that there exists a mighty power to resist the eruption the war so long as women are living. Here we introduce to you a project named after  Aristophane's anti-war comedy Lysistrata, that is, Let's make love, not war! 有人說，世界上只要有男人就會有戰爭；也有人說，世界上只要有女人存在，就會有遏制戰爭的力量……不管這些說法正確與否，2006年婦女節，我們向您介紹國際上一個名為"莉西斯特拉忒"的工程。"Lysistrata"的名字則可追溯到古希臘時代的一部偉大的戲劇，意為"為了促使戰爭早日結束，女性們對男性施行'性'罷工"…   Women's Day Celebration In Sawa   The way to celebrate the International Women's Day Women's Day marks the role of women in both the past and the present. However, the day is not a one-day routine. The real challenge lies in the spontaneous flow of feelings -- honoring and celebrating womanhood on a particular March 8 only to forget its importance the next day is sacrilegious. “國際婦女節”意在凸顯女性在社會中的重要角色。我們最大的挑戰在于：3月8日這天，各種慶祝活動大張旗鼓；3月8日之后，一切“絢麗”關注煙消云散…   Honor killings are executed for instances of rape, infidelity , flirting or any other instance perceived as disgracing the family's honor. Men are opposed to some other men's violence against women.   Focus on the disadvantaged：hornor killings Focus on the disadvantaged：female circumcision Focus on the disadvantaged: "white ribbon" campaign Although the prayers for peace and gender equality have been ringing in the 21th century, there  pravails such customs as "hornor killings" and "female circumcision" in some other local regions. These hideous traditions are unfortunately imprinted on the victims' memories, and meanwhile, they raise the alarm to the world that women issues are far from being addressed. In 1991, a handful of men in Canada launched the "white ribbon" camaign, which communicates the instimulating sign -- men are opposed to sone other men's violence against women. 21世紀的今天，世界和平、兩性平等已經深入到全人類最真誠的祈禱聲中… 可是，在世界的某些角落，依然存在著種種陋習--"女子割禮"，"榮譽殺害"--愚昧的風俗不僅僅在受害者心頭留下永遠的痛，也時時提醒著已經擁有幸福的男人和女人：我們應該關注女性問題，因為，只有當世界上所有女人都擁有平等的權利過著快樂生活的時候，世界才真正和平。1991年由一群加拿大男性倡議發起的“白絲帶”活動，就是關注女性、保護女性的最好例證。         (Agencies)
