Ken Cooley, Chair
SBPCA Bill Id:SCR 13
Author:(Jackson) – As Introduced Ver:February 14, 2019
SENATE VOTE: 37-0
SUBJECT: International Women’s Day.
SUMMARY: Designates March 8, 2019, as International Women’s Day. Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings:
- The first National Woman’s Day was observed in the United States in 1909 in honor of the 1908 garment workers’ strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions.
- International Women’s Day was marked for the first time in 1911 by Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies demanding the rights for women to vote and to hold public office, women’s rights to work, to vocational training, and to an end to discrimination on the job.
- In 1913-14, International Women’s Day also became a mechanism for protesting World War I. As part of the peace movement, Russian women observed their first International Women’s Day on the last Sunday in February, and elsewhere in Europe, on or around March 8 of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with other activists.
- In 1975, during International Women’s Year, the United Nations began celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8 and this day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women’s movement has helped make the commemoration a rallying point to build support for women’s rights and participation in the political and economic arenas.
- The United Nations has designated the theme for the 2019 International Women’s Day as “Think Equal, Build Smart, Innovate for Change.” The theme will focus on innovative ways to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women, particularly in the areas of social protection systems, access to public services, and sustainable infrastructure.
- The achievement of the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals requires transformational shifts, integrated approaches, and new solutions, particularly when it comes to advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. Based on current trajectories, existing interventions will not suffice to achieve the United Nations’ goal of Planet 50-50, a fully gender-integrated planet, by 2030. Innovative approaches that disrupt “business and usual” are central to removing structural barriers and ensuring that no woman and no girl is left behind.
- International Women’s Day stands as a reminder of the long history of women’s social activism and organizing; fighting for equal wages, better working conditions, and the right to vote and that while women make up more than one-half of our population, they are disproportionately represented in our state; too few in leadership positions and too many who live in poverty.

SUBJECT: International Women’s Day
DIGEST:
This resolution designates March 8, 2019, as International Women’s Day.
ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative findings:
- International Women’s Day first emerged from the activities of labor movements at the turn of the 20th century in North America and across Europe.
- International Women’s Day was marked for the first time in 1911 by Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies demanding the rights for women to vote and to hold public office, women’s rights to work, to vocational training, and to an end to discrimination on the job. In 1975, during International Women’s Year, the United Nations began celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8.
- International Women’s Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women’s movement has helped make the commemoration a rallying point to build support for women’s rights and participation in political and economic arenas.
- International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change, and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.
- The United Nations has designated the theme for the 2019 International Women’s Day as “Think Equal, Build Smart, Innovate for Change.” The theme will focus on innovative ways to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women, particularly in the areas of social protection systems, access to public services, and sustainable infrastructure.
- International Women’s Day stands as a reminder of the long history of women’s social activism and organizing; fighting for equal wages, better working conditions, and the right to vote and that while women make up more than one-half of our population, they are disproportionately represented in our state; too few in leadership positions and too many who live in poverty.
