International Women’s Day, 2024
NEW YORK, Mar 5 2024 (IPS) - One of the most fascinating aspects of International Women’s Day is an odd subtext. That this is all about and (only) for women. Really?

Would we ever think that if we had an international man’s day (which would be practically every day of the years of our lives) is all about and only for men? No, we would not.
