知根知底“妇女节”
 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.
虽然这篇文章依然脱不掉旧路，依然得像众多节日介绍一样，向您介绍3月8日的来历及历史渊源，但我们试图以最清晰的手法向你提供最有价值的信息，如：国际妇女节的象征意义、2007年国际妇女节的主题，如果愿意，您还可赏析一首关于妇女节的诗歌《面包和玫瑰》……
为了反战，我们“性罢工”
 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!
有人说，世界上只要有男人存在就会有战争；也有人说，世界上只要有女人存在，就会有遏制战争的力量……不管这些说法正确与否，2006年妇女节，我们向您介绍国际上一个名为“International Lysistrata Project”的工程。“Lysistrata”的名字可追溯到古希腊时代的一部伟大的戏剧，意为“为了促使战争早日结束，女性们对男性施行‘性’罢工”……
关注“弱势群体”
 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世纪的今天，世界和平、两性平等已经深入到全人类最真诚的祈祷声中…… 可是，在世界的某些角落，依然存在着某种陋习——“女子割礼”、“荣誉杀害”——愚昧的风俗不仅仅在受害者心头留下永远的痛，也时时提醒着已经拥有幸福的男人和女人：关注女性问题。1991年，由一群加拿大男性公民倡议发起的“白丝带”活动，就是关注女性、保护女性的最好例证。
庆祝方式多姿彩
 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.
“国际妇女节”意在凸显女性在社会中的重要角色。我们最大的挑战在于：3月8日这天，各种庆祝活动大张旗鼓；3月8日之后，一切“绚丽”关注烟消云散……
