The annual March 8 women's Day is coming. I believe many people will ask if it is a statutory holiday? Is March 8 women's day a special holiday for women? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian.

Women's Day is not a legal holiday, but a holiday for some citizens. According to the national annual and Memorial Day holiday measures, women's Day (March 8) is half a day.
Is March 8 holiday 2018?
According to the regulations on women's Day holiday in the measures for national annual and memorial days, women enjoy half a day's holiday on this day. However, it seems that enterprises do not have a strong sense of holidays for some citizens. It is understood that the labor law clearly points out that employers should arrange workers' holidays according to law in other holidays stipulated by laws and regulations such as the "March 8th" festival. If workers are arranged to work on statutory holidays, they shall be paid not less than 300% of their wages.
The origin of women's Day
IWD is the United Nations women's rights and interests and international peace day. In China, IWD is also called international women's day, 38 women's day and 38 women's day.
Since March 8, 1909, women's march for equality between men and women in Chicago, the United States has gone through more than 100 years in the 21st century. It is a festival set up on March 8 every year to celebrate Women's important contributions and great achievements in economic, political and social fields. At the same time, it is also to commemorate the death of more than 140 women workers in the 1911 triangle underwear factory fire in New York.
Conclusion: in order to strive for equality between men and women, women's Day is just one of the representatives. After more than 100 years of efforts, more and more female compatriots have come out of their homes and can live independently in this society. Women can live freely in this world without relying on anyone. Although we have paid a lot, it is worth seeing the blue sky outside.
