知根知底“婦女節(jié)”
 Aside from a brief history of the International Women's Day (IWD), this article introduces to you the symbolic meaning of IWD,the poem of "Bread & Roses " related to IWD and the themes for IWD that UN puts on the top agenda of the year. Come on, lets enjoy the knowledge related to IWD.
雖然這篇文章依然脫不掉舊路，依然得像眾多節(jié)日介紹一樣，向您介紹3月8日的來歷及歷史淵源，但我們試圖以最清晰的手法向你提供最有價(jià)值的信息，如：國際婦女節(jié)的象征意義、2007年國際婦女節(jié)的主題，如果愿意，您還可賞析一首關(guān)于婦女節(jié)的詩歌《面包和玫瑰》……
為了反戰(zhàn)，我們“性罷工”
 It is said that the world would not enjoy permanent peace since men were born warriors; whereas others say that there exists a mighty power to resist the eruption so long as women are living. Here we introduce to you a project named after Aristophane's anti-war comedyLysistrata, that is, Let's make love, not war!
有人說，世界上只要有男人存在就會(huì)有戰(zhàn)爭；也有人說，世界上只要有女人存在，就會(huì)有遏制戰(zhàn)爭的力量……不管這些說法正確與否，2006年婦女節(jié)，我們向您介紹國際上一個(gè)名為“International Lysistrata Project”的工程?！癓ysistrata”的名字可追溯到古希臘時(shí)代的一部偉大的戲劇，意為“為了促使戰(zhàn)爭早日結(jié)束，女性們對男性施行‘性’罷工”……
關(guān)注“弱勢群體”
 Although the prayers for peace and gender equality have been ringing in the 21th century, there pravails such customs as "hornor killings" and "female circumcision" in some other local regions.
These hideous traditions are unfortunately imprinted on the victims' memories, and meanwhile, they raise the alarm to the world that women issues are far from being addressed.
In 1991, a handful of men in Canada launched the "white ribbon" camaign, which communicates the instimulating sign -- men are opposed to sone other men's violence against women.
21世紀(jì)的今天，世界和平、兩性平等已經(jīng)深入到全人類最真誠的祈禱聲中…… 可是，在世界的某些角落，依然存在著某種陋習(xí)——“女子割禮”、“榮譽(yù)殺害”——愚昧的風(fēng)俗不僅僅在受害者心頭留下永遠(yuǎn)的痛，也時(shí)時(shí)提醒著已經(jīng)擁有幸福的男人和女人：關(guān)注女性問題。1991年，由一群加拿大男性公民倡議發(fā)起的“白絲帶”活動(dòng)，就是關(guān)注女性、保護(hù)女性的最好例證。
慶祝方式多姿彩
 Women's Day marks the role of women in both the past and the present. However, the day is not a one-day routine.
The real challenge lies in the spontaneous flow of feelings -- honoring and celebrating womanhood on a particular March 8 only to forget its importance the next day is sacrilegious.
“國際婦女節(jié)”意在凸顯女性在社會(huì)中的重要角色。我們最大的挑戰(zhàn)在于：3月8日這天，各種慶祝活動(dòng)大張旗鼓；3月8日之后，一切“絢麗”關(guān)注煙消云散……
