International Women’s Day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women.\u00a0 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The earliest Women’s Day observance was held on February 28, 1909, in New York and organized by the Socialist Party of America<\/a>. On March 8, 1917, in the capital of the Russian Empire<\/a>, Petrograd<\/a>, a demonstration of women textile workers began, covering the whole city. This marked the beginning of the Russian Revolution<\/a>. Seven days later, the Emperor of Russia<\/a> Nicholas II<\/a> abdicated and the provisional Government<\/a> granted women the right to vote. \u00a0March 8 was declared a national holiday in Soviet Russia<\/a> in 1917. The day was adopted in 1975 by the United Nations<\/a>.\u00a0 The United Nations<\/a> began celebrating International Women’s Day in the International Women’s Year<\/a>, 1975. In 1977, the United Nations General Assembly<\/a> invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day<\/a> for women’s rights<\/a> and world peace<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 1986\u00a0Au Pair in America\u00a0has placed well over 100,000 au pairs, most of them women.\u00a0 The experience they gain on our program enables them to achieve goals in their lives that may not have been possible without their participation on our program.\u00a0 Our au pairs make the world a better place.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
