Marches and protests today in my country.

This March 8th, on Woman´s day, many women will protest at the streets. They want better salaries, holidays equality. I confess that even though I would not march at a protest (I did it for the last time many years ago against the dictator Pinochet), I agree that I prefer a protest for equality than to accept a red rose from the boss. What do you expect from Woman´s day? Are you interested in this? Share

Women are protesting in Italy, as it always happened. Here no celebrations, no protests. I would cancel this day from the calendar.

I am for protests when there is something that should be changed, if they are peaceful.

@LadyDuck When I protested in Chile, it was against the dictator.

@marguicha I am not for those protesters. The women who protest in Italy are all of the extreme left parties, the normal women do not march in the streets there.

Here the festivals have become to be good chances for the businesmen to promote their business. Every festival can celebrate and need to buy gifts and this is the trick. It is the same for Women's Day.

I don't like crowds, but my little granddaughter, her mother, and friends always march to show solidarity. Not so this year, since mom is still in Nairobi.

I suppose that it depends on how involved you are with what it is needed.

I think women still get a very raw deal. Nothing much has happened over the decades. Women are still exploited everywhere.

I know. I was always treated with respect, but that does not have to be a matter of luck but a normal situation.

In my country, women usually get less pay than men when they do the same job.
