In 1910 the first world women’s conference was held in Copenhagen as a result of women’s constant struggle and everlasting sacrifices. Nearly 100 women from more than 17 countries participated in the decision to celebrate World Day of Persecution of Women.
Since the women strike on the death of two million Russian soldiers in World War I, this day has become a global phenomenon in developed and developing countries.
