Rural women are a large part of the population of our planet. They play a leading role in the field of food production, as well as in the development of stability of suburban areas. In order to support these “women workers”, the International Day of Rural Women was organized. Their important contribution to society should undoubtedly be appreciated!
International Rural Women's Day - a reminder to the people of the value of their work
So, this holiday is thanks to the fair sex for what they do. International Day of Rural Women is designed to remind people around at least once a year of how important and how valuable their work is.
And the idea came up for holding this holiday in Beijing in 1995 at a conference convened by the United Nations. Celebrating the International Day of Rural Women was decided annually on October 15th.
The roots of the holiday go far
It would seem that this event appeared not so long ago. Nevertheless, its roots go far away ... From ancient times, it was women who were holding the economy in their hands - mothers and wives. They kept the keys to the house, kept records of flour, straw and hay. Under their supervision were pets.
In the history of mankind, large and small villages have been affected by many reorganizations. Accordingly, they also affected women. In the war and post-war times, for example, they took on an excessive burden, restoring their land, their villages ... It was not easy at all ...
In a word, International Day of Rural Women encourages those around them to respect everything that they have done over the years and what they continue to do today.
Promotions and events - what is necessary for the heroes of the occasion
The various problems of the fair sex living in the village are an important and very serious issue. Many of them are decided on this holiday. These include poverty, inadequate mechanization in production, lack of automation, etc.
In addition, the heroes of the occasion must also relax on the International Day of Rural Women. Pictures and photographs presented at specially organized various exhibitions, holiday concerts, performances by domestic pop stars - all this is designed specifically for them!
It would seem that the weaker sex ... However, no matter what side of rural life you take, women work everywhere! They are not only engaged in everyday life, upbringing, education, maintenance. They are also forced to take on crop production and livestock, as well as various forms of small business. These include bakeries, mini-factories for the repair or sewing of shoes and clothes, and various private companies ... All this, of course, deserves any encouragement.
On this day, various gatherings of citizens, meetings of women's councils and various unions are often organized, special seminars and round tables are held on topics that are relevant for rural workers.
In many regions, another tradition has also emerged. The organization of large fairs, where rural people bring various products, has become a very popular event. Here you can buy homemade milk, cheese, cottage cheese, sausages, clothes, decorations and other goods.
Difficulties of rural women are not scared
Of course, everyone - both the townspeople and the villagers - have difficult times in life. It especially affects those who live in the village. For example, in the hot summer, a huge number of gardens and fields suffer. However, rural women find it possible to deal with these problems. They are doing everything possible, are not afraid of anything.
Because at least once a year - October 15 - and it’s worth doing something pleasant for the heroes of the occasion - on the International Day of Rural Women. Congratulations, a gift, a surprise - all this will surely please our lovely hardworking ladies!
