Today is International Women's Day!

International Women's Day has a socialist whakapapa. Historically called International Working Women's Day, its establishment was the work of women in the Second International. The date commemorates the women's protests that kicked off the February Revolution in 1917.

In New Zealand and globally, women perform a significant amount of unpaid, underpaid, and under-recognised labour, including service work, domestic work, and childcare. This division of labour by gender forms the basis for patriarchy, where men’s social, political, and economic status is elevated above women, and the relationship between men and women, including working class men and women, becomes one of exploitation.

I would like to share an article I received (weekly emails from the wonderful Brett Miller @ Pilates Intel in Sweden).

I hadn't really appreciated our transitions until now. It has always been an important part of my programming but almost unconscious to me. It is wonderful to find the appreciation in these small but very important details.

A good perspective from Jess Tiley at Waikato University.

Our first day back, WOW.

It has been a magnificent and inspirational day. I am so full of joyful energy, as I reflect and share my gratitude and thanks.

Returning to Pt. Chevalier Sailing Club today was phenomenal. We have been blessed with a magnificent warm and sunny day to gaze out upon the spectacular vista we so gratefully enjoy in "The Chev".

l am so incredibly grateful for the love and energy shared today, thank you all for your love and kindness.

I now feel so ramped for a term of sharing, guiding, reconnecting, restoring and loving ourselves.

Namaste
