'Choodi pahen ke baitha hu kya' kind of languages shouldn't be encouraged: Sitharaman

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman attended 'International Women's Day' event on March 08.

She said, "In formal and informal engagements, most often we come across language, which is not intended to be bad, but is very patronizing and doesn't recognize implicit gender bias.

It is said in humour but that reinforces the mentality.

We should not encourage this kind of language, let alone using it.

It is said - 'choodi pahen ke baitha hu kya' to say that 'do you think I don't have courage?'.

We have to avoid this kind of expression."

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
