Día Internacional de la Mujer 2013

El Día Internacional de la Mujer, celebrado el 8 de marzo, ha pasado a ser un momento de reflexión sobre los progresos alcanzados, un llamado al cambio, y una celebración de los actos de valor y determinación tomados por mujeres que han tenido un papel extraordinario en la historia de sus países y sus comunidades. El tema de este 2013 es: “Una promesa es una promesa: momento de pasar a la acción para acabar con la violencia contra las mujeres”.

¿Cuál es el origen del Día Internacional de la Mujer? El 1910, la organización Internacional Socialista, reunida en Copenhague, proclamó el Día de la Mujer con carácter internacional, en homenaje al movimiento a favor de los derechos de la mujer. No se estableció una fecha fija para la celebración. En 1913, el último domingo de febrero, las mujeres rusas celebraron su primer Día Internacional de la Mujer, enmarcado en los movimientos pro de la paz que surgieron en vísperas de la primera Guerra Mundial. En el resto de Europa, lo hicieron el 8 de marzo de 1914 para protestar por la guerra o para solidarizarse con las demás mujeres. Por su parte, Naciones Unidas comenzó a celebrarlo el 8 de marzo de 1975, conmemorando el año Internacional de la Mujer. En diciembre de 1977, la Asamblea General adoptó una resolución proclamando un Día de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos de la Mujer y la Paz Internacional, que los Estados Miembros pueden celebrar cualquier día del año siguiendo su tradición histórica y nacional. Derechos de la Mujer en México: El 17 de octubre de 1953 se dio a conocer a través del Diario Oficial de la Federación el anuncio del Voto Femenino en México. El 6 de julio de 1958 fue la primera ocasión en que la mujer mexicana ejerció su derecho al voto. El 1º de enero de 1975, entró en vigor el nuevo artículo 4º de la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos: El varón y la mujer son iguales ante la ley. Con esa reforma, la Constitución Mexicana se colocó como la primera en el mundo que reconoció, junto a la igualdad de la mujer y la relevancia social de la familia, el derecho fundamental del individuo a la procreación libre y responsable, de acuerdo a la Declaración de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas emitida en Teherán, en 1968.

One Woman: Por primera vez la ONU lanzará el 8 de marzo de 2013 la canción “One Woman”, celebración musical de las mujeres en todo el mundo que cuenta con las voces de más de 20 artistas. Se pueden consultar vídeos detrás de cámaras que relatan la canción, cuya producción demoró un alrededor de un año en: song.unwomen.org/es

Datos relevantes En México, la efeméride del 8 de marzo se homenajeó por primera vez en 1935, por las mujeres del Partido Nacional Revolucionario, PNR (actual PRI). A 78 años de dicha conmemoración, han sido incontables los esfuerzos de las mujeres para alcanzar la igualdad, justicia, y paz en la convivencia, así como respeto a sus derechos humanos.
