Frequently asked questions about International Women's Day
In Germany, 8 March (International Women’s Day) is a public holiday in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In the other federal states, it’s not a public holiday, but the day is widely recognised with events and initiatives celebrating women’s rights and equality.
On International Women’s Day, you can show appreciation to any woman in your life – your partner, mum, sister, friend, colleague or mentor. It’s a day to celebrate women’s achievements and show respect and recognition.
The date goes back to protests by female workers in 1917 in Saint Petersburg, where women demonstrated for better living conditions, peace and equal rights. These events helped spark the February Revolution. The 8th of March was later officially declared International Women’s Day.
In many countries, especially in Italy, the yellow mimosa is the traditional symbol of International Women’s Day. It represents strength, solidarity and appreciation. Tulips, roses and spring flowers are also popular choices.
On 8 March, fresh, cheerful bouquets are especially popular – such as tulips, roses, gerberas or colourful spring flowers. There’s no single “right” flower – it’s the thoughtful gesture that counts.
The colours traditionally associated with International Women’s Day are purple, green and white, symbolising equality, hope and solidarity. These colours are often reflected in floral designs and spring bouquets.
International Women’s Day is a public holiday in several countries, including Germany (Berlin & Mecklenburg-Vorpommern), Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, and others.
International Women’s Day celebrates women’s achievements, promotes gender equality, and raises awareness of ongoing challenges. It’s also a lovely occasion to say thank you to the women in your life.
Flowers For International Women's Day
International Women's Day arose of a socialist movement. To demand equal rights and the right to vote for women, as well as emancipation for women workers. This happened before the First World War and was initiated by women's rights activist Clara Zetkin in 1910. In fact, International Women's Day was banned during the Second World War.
Instead of International Women's Day, Mother's Day was elevated to a bank holiday, as it corresponded more to the ideal image of women at that time. But women still celebrated International Women's Day: behind closed doors, but red linen was hung out of the window as a sign of celebration.
Why Do We Celebrate International Women's Day On 8th March?
On 8 March 1917, women workers, peasants and Solfate women in what is now Saint Petersburg, Russia took to the streets to strike and protest, sparking the February Revolution. And so, during the Second International Conference of Communist Women in 1921 in Moscow, Russia, 8 March was established as International Women's Day, instigated by Clara Zetkin.
Today, we still celebrate International Women's Day and are very proud to express appreciation, esteem, and respect towards women. Of course, this should actually happen every day and be the absolute norm in society.
