A Citizen Journalism Website for Women and by Women Announces Campaign to Make International Women's Day a Public Holiday

Delhi, India, March 02, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The world will be celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8, 2010.
On the occasion of IWD, www.shetizenjournalist.com is launching an online event – “Being a Woman.”

Women from all across the world are invited to submit their experiences of “Being a Woman.” The entries will be featured on the home page on March 8, 2010.

International Women’s Day is an official holiday in China, Armenia, Russia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.

It is about time that the rest of the world took note of women's contribution to society, economy and family. While a public holiday won't end all the wrongs against women, it will definitely help to focus attention on nearly 50 percent of the world's people.

Shetizenjournalist.com is thus urging women to sign an online petition to “Make International Women’s Day A Public Holiday Worldwide.”

You can sign the petition by copying and pasting this link in your browser - http://www.petitiononline.com/womens/petition.html

Shetizenjournalist.com is a tool for today’s women who can use it to report, raise gender debates and discussions on issues that matter to women and that contributes to their empowerment.
