Since 1975, on March 8th has been celebrated the International Women’s Day “to commemorate the historic struggle to improve women’s lives”. It is celebrated around the world at the local and national levels.
When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.
International Women’s Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men.
In Romania, women receive flowers and presents and go out without their husbands to celebrate this day.

Hi,
Loved your website.
I was just wondering if you have a way of on-line ordering a Mărţişor or a bunch of snowflower/snowdrop to someone in Romania.
If you do, please let me know and we can talk about more address/money details.
Thanks,
Yasser

Hi,
Thanks for the comment, I hope you found our articles useful.
Here are two sites you could use to purchase Martisor online:
http://www.e-martisoare.ro/
http://thespoonman.ro/martisoare/martisoare-lucrate-manual/
The sites are in Romanian only, so if you need my help to translate and to pick something nice let me know.
Take care,
Sabina
