21-year-old Odisha girl teaches marriage is no child's play

Meet Yashoda Pandey, a 21-year girl from Nuapada district in Odisha, who has stopped 80 child marriages in her district.

Yashoda, who lives in Haldi village, a tribal dominated Naxal-affected area close to Chhattisgarh, has started preventing child marriages when she was only 16 years old.

She learned about the disadvantage of child marriage through a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) and started her work in 2016.

On Women's Day, Yashoda gave a message and said, "Both boys and girls should study and develop a skill set.

There should be no discrimination between boys and girls."

The Labor Origins of Women’s History Month: Explained

The Labor Origins of, Women's History Month:, Explained. Though women should be celebrated every day, March has been designated National Women’s History Month. Here's how March came to be known as Women’s History Month. Women’s History Month was birthed after garment workers in New York City held a massive protest on March 8, 1857. The strike was repeated on the same date in 1908 and throughout the year, which led to March 8 being named International Women’s Day. In 1978, activist Molly Murphy MacGregor instituted a local “women's history week” in Sonoma, California. It was recognized nationally on a year-to-year basis in 1980 by President Jimmy Carter. By 1986, 14 states recognized March as Women’s History Month, as a result of the hard work of The National Women's History Project. A year later, in 1987, the entire nation began celebrating National Women's Day in March
