International Women's Day is a major day of global celebration of women and is marked on the 8th of March every year. This year is special because it honors the 100th anniversary of the the first International Women's Day in 1911 which started in Germany.

The day is celebrated around the world and ranges from a day of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements. In some countries it is actually declared a public holiday.

Woman represents the foundation of family and community. It is through her that we learn the values that bring balance into our lives.

The cycle of life for the woman is the baby, girl, woman, and grandmother. These are the four directions of life. She has been given by natural laws, the ability to reproduce life. The most sacred of all things is life. Therefore, all men should treat her with dignity and respect. Never harm her mentally or physically.Treat women in a sacred manner.


A man who looks first to a woman's outer beauty will never know her beauty divine, for there is dust upon his eyes and he is blind. But a man who sees in a woman the spirit of the Great One and sees her beauty first in spirit and truth, that man will know "Divinity" in that woman.


All women in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator, giver of life and source of all human life they must all be respected.


Many women seeking a spirituality that embraces and honors the feminine principles of creation and natural balance have claimed the Goddess for their own. The glorification of the Divine Feminine is of crucial importance. For a spiritual rebirth, we have to see the Divine Mother in every woman and honor Her .


The old ones speak of woman as a magical, mysterious bird which has paused in its flight for a moment in order to give man hope and purpose; men live under the wing of that bird, which they call the bird of wisdom, the bird of freedom.



Treat every woman from the tiniest child to the oldest one with respect at all times. Always treat a woman with honor and consideration.

The hurt of one woman is the hurt of all women, the honor of one woman is the honor of all women. Show honor and esteem for all women! Consider and treat them with deference or courtesy


When woman speaks Listen her with your heart.Never speak about woman in a negative way.

★ maybe it is her birth
which she holds close to herself
or her death
which is just as inseparable
and the white wind
that encircles her is a part
just as the blue sky
hanging in turquoise from her neck
oh woman
remember who you are
woman
it is the whole earth
