Why is the 8M celebrated?
He origin of 8M It is set in New York in 1857 when hundreds of women workers in the textile industry demonstrated in search of equal pay with respect to their male colleagues and in order to achieve better working conditions. However, the protests ended with the death of 120 workers who were assassinated, thus giving rise to the first feminist demonstration.
For its part, the UN considers that the origin of 8M goes back to 1848 when the suffragettes Elizabeth Cady Standon and Lucretia Mott gathered hundreds of people in a demonstration against slavery in New York.
