Y no debe de ser »bajada en ningún aspecto. ■Esto se dio a conocer un día 16 de Diciembre de 1977, cuando la Asamblea General de la ONU por medio del secretario General ;on el emblema “Fin a la ■criminación con moti- ros de genero, cuando qui ta y donde quiera que esta |urra.”Invitó a todos los Estados a que proclamaran, le acuerdo con sus tradi- :iones históricas y cos- pmbres nacionales, un día leí año como Día de las paciones Unidas para los retechos de la Mujer y la ?az Internacional. i Que seria conmemorado Ida 8 de Marzo durante Ida año tomando en cuanta jue toda la humanidad iba a contribuir al desarrollo de la Iciedad y al adelanto de la civilización. ■Desde entonces se ha lebrado esta importante cha que ha marcado una an diferencia en el trato I toda mujer. Las mujeres son un orgullo y un obse de la naturaleza, son les especiales, fuertes y a vez sensibles que dem- stran su ternura cuando nen que amar y su rabia mdo tienen que defender os que aman. Ellas ríen cuando quieren ■tar, cantan cuando quieren llorar, lloran cuando están felices y ríen cuando están nerviosas. Luchan por lo que quieren. No toman un “no” por respuesta cuando creen que hay una mejor solución. Andan sin zapatos nuevos para que sus hijos los puedan tener. Van al medico con una amiga asustada. Aman incondicionalmente. Lloran cuando sus niños sobresalen y animan a sus amigos a que lo hagan. Son felices cuando se enteran de un nacimiento o un nuevo matrimonio, y se les rompe el corazón cuando muere un amigo. Sufren con la perdida de un miembro de la familia, aunque son fuertes cuando creen haber perdido la fuer za. Saben que un beso y un abrazo pueden curar un corazón herido. Las mujeres vienen de todos los tamaños, colores y formas. Ellas pueden manejar, volar, caminar, correr, escri bir, o podrían hacer lo quesea por la persona a la que aman y así demostrarle cuanto les importa. ¡El corazón de una mujer es lo que hace al mundo girar! Las mujeres hacen más que sólo dar a luz. Traen alegría y esperanza. Ellas brindan compasión e ideales. Dan apoyo moral a sus familiares y amigos, Las mujeres tienen mucho que decir y mucho que dar. Y si se trata de actuar, ellas lo -aran, así tengan que suf rir, ellas lucharan, así ten gan que llorar, lo aceptaran, con tal de brindarle a sus hijos lo mejor de ellas y criar hombres buenos para la sociedad.
