Júlia Santo nº14

Gender equality- definition

International women's day

Tuesday, March 8 marks International Women’s Day, an internationally celebrated day dedicated to recognizing the social, political, economic, and cultural contributions women around the world have made to their countries and their communities.​

Origin of the international women's day

The origin of the international women's day is related to two major events: March 8, 1857, and March 25, 1911.​

March 8, 1857

The first reference to March 8, 1857, is in New York, where women took the streets and went on strike demanding better working conditions. But what established the celebration of International Women's Day was the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York On March 25, 1911, that killed 146 women.

1975

Only in the year 1975 was it decided that March 8 would become the "international women's day" by the United Nations in honor of the women who died in the 1911 fire.

First woman to vote in Portugal

Carolina Beatriz Ângelo was a Portuguese physician and feminist. She was the first female surgeon and the first woman to vote in Portugal in 1911.

The April 25 revolution and gender equality

​ With the establishment of democracy, women and men began to have the same legal status, disappearing from the law the figure of the 'man of the family'.​ The right to vote becomes universal for all citizens of legal age.
