As we know  last week it was the international women’s day.
For better understanding this day  last Tuesday I asked many questions about this important date. In a moment of the day one of the girls who answered my questions showed me
a paper ruler « scale of violence » so she explained the importance
of this object: it’s a paper where we can measure the level of violent and toxic relationships.  I
find this device very helpful and useful for women.
The international women’s day is a day where many women focus on freedom, gender
equality and  respect.
Acording to me the part that made me shocked was the testimonies  of the
girls who suffered a street harassement and there are one that made me sad because
the victim was just 13 years old and her assaulter was her own
uncle. 
In my opinion such event is useful to organize at school because it can help us to
understand  women and maybe stop many potential assaulters or inform girls and women about potential dangers . To conclude women deserve a better life.

Last week, it was the women’s rights day and I discovered many information about
women’s rights. For example, do you know that there is a scale violence to measure the level of physical and psychological violence which starts from 1 to 24. There are also testimonies about girls who have already been visctim of terrible experiences.

I was really shocked when I discovered these testimonies because these experiences suffered by
some young girls are terrible, not human. And I think that such event is useful at
school because we must sensitize young people about Human rights icluding women's rights.

During the 8th of march, students prepared stands to inform others about various types
of violences that women experience on a daily basis, but also put up informations
about their rights and various famous women from different periods of history.
The stands were up for the whole day with students responsible of them answering
questions and such, but there was also a part that you could contribute to which
consisted of a wall with notes from students with the prompt "What 8th March should
be like".
The last thing was a testimonies wall with various stories from anonymous students
from the whole school about various acts of violence they have experienced.
It was a good idea to raise awareness but there was little to no information that
students in the age range from 15 to 18 didn't know already; personally i didn't learn
anything new about different types of violences or about woman's rights during this
event. The information was often vague and same things were repeated quite often.
It is important to have events like these in school though, as to not stay ignorant to
different issues that are happening right now. But most high schools students weren't
interested much in what was put up for the occasion. They showed little to no interest,
showing that stands with flyers wasn't a good approach to an event like this and didn't
attract much attention.
Its always important to raise awareness to these topics but a school can be a hard
target audience and often students ignore these types of events as they are too
occupied with other things and rarely pay attention.

Yesterday (March 8, 2022), during the small event organized by the high school on the
issue of the international day of women'srights, I discovered several new
things like for example much more women than I thought were oppressed by some men in
their daily life.  In this event there were several small workshops as for example
the one that I liked most: the panel where we could write a small sentence to
say our version of an ideal day of March 8 and we had to hangit. There were also
other workshops like the one where we made a quiz with all the classmates etc. I think this
event is useful at school because that informs the people about this issue if they didn’t
know about it and it’s rather entertaining.

The International Women’s day is celebrated every year on March 8th . The day has been
observed as a national holiday in most of the countries. Women across the nations come
together crossing all the boundaries from various cultural and ethnic  groups to
remember their struggle for peace, justice, equality and development
Thanks to the stands in my high school, I discovered the fact that you speak about yourself , that you can
watch in everyday life for the people' s emotions on their faces. It is an opportunity to tell the Truth !
The part, that surprised me , is about the scale of violence against women around the
world .
 I think this event is very useful at school for the people who didn’t know the truth about
women’s day and their daily life .
