Armenia – Celebrates Women

International Women’s Day is on 8th March, and it is a National Holiday in Armenia, but it is not a National Holiday in many other countries. On this day, women are celebrated by highlighting their achievements, emphasizing their value in society, and pointing out the challenges women face today. 

Additionally, they are pampered with flowers, breakfast in bed and other special “actions” to show that they are appreciated and loved by their loved ones.

This day is also called the United Nations (UN) Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace. 

On 19th November is International Men’s Day, but it is not a National Holiday in Armenia.
