Global Engage

Women's Day brings to my mind the great role played by mothers who work hard or exert themselves to prepare new generations. Thus, we need to thank and respect every mother all over the world. This poem is dedicated to all moms:

My Mom -You taught me how to talk/ You supported me to walk/You held me when I would rock/You protected me from hawk/You took me to BangkokMom, I am lost without you/Mom, I don’t have a clue

we think celebrating international womens day is very impotant, because woman should get recognized for their great efforts and the families that they build, also the way they fight for their rights and never give up, in a way there has always been divison of genders men have more preferences than woman, but now a days women are succeding equally as men when before people saw women as weak and unable to suceed. but their prespective towards woman has changed because we woman overcome every obstacle that is presented to us. women are reaching all their goals and they fought for their rights, which we got!!!

I think it wouhld be a tgh gsood idea, being that women's day is a day to remember and hiongor thoe feminist movement, being that women were seeking for equranlity, and empowerment. Being that women were opressed, lacked basic rights, and equal treatment, and it is a problem that still exists now a days, we can say that the african american civil rights movement,  having those same characteristics, should have a similar celebration. I belive that this will bring to light the racism issue that still exist and to remember the fight for equal rights. We are JFK STUDENTS FROM qUERETARO.

IWD is an amazing thing and its fantastic how it is expanding through out the world. Its important that people come together to think about women; specially when it comes to women rights, tratement of women, etc.

 This world has many imperfections and a very concerning one is the inequality and mistreartment of women.  Its amazing that we have a international day to think about how to make this world a better place, that strives toward gender equalness and mutual respect.

The great thing about IWD is that it's a day where people gather globally to acknowledge women's accomplishments and promote a better treatment of women around the world.

However, we think that the recognition of women's accomplishments and promotion of their rights is something that should be practiced every day of the year. Celebrating it once a year is a good day for awarness to be raised internationally. But the point should be to get to a place where we get to a good global understanding of how important women are in all societies and be aware of this every day.

We are three John F. Kennedy students from Querétaro, Mexico.  

 Women play a vital role in life and must be highly valued. Can societies develop or survive without women? The answer is simply no. Therefore, we need to celebrate WD. I think IWD is a very important occasion that must be highlighted in every IB school around the world. All IB schools need to hold or run many competitions between students to stress the value and importance of this day. Isn't it women who make the generations? Don't they work hand in hand with men to build up societies or communities? I bet they deserve a lot of praise from us.
