International Women's Day

IWD is a celebration of women's achievements and contributions and voted by United Nation as a international holiday in 1977. It started by Lenin, following The October Revolution, as a political event in Russia to commemorate the outstanding merits of Soviet women in communistic construction. Romania, as well as all other countries of former Soviet bloc adopted it too. Today, it's not a political celebration any longer, but become simply an occasion for men to express their love and respect to the women around them.
