Debuting in the new season of Saia Justa on GNT, Gabriela Prioli gives a powerful speech about the International Women’s Daythis Wednesday, March 8th
The lawyer who, starting this year, will be part of the attraction’s team of moderators Astrid Fontenell, Larissa Luz It is beautiful Gilthe attraction begins by explaining the origin of the date.
“So, have you already wished your mother a happy women’s day today? Have you already given your colleague a rose? No? And a little candy as a gift for your customers? Do you know? No? So calm down, there’s still time… To understand why you shouldn’t be doing all this today! Or at least not exactly that (because a little chocolate is always good)”.
Prioli explains that March 8 is not a public holiday, although like Christmas and Easter it has been turned into something commercial.
“International Women’s Day is commemorated on this day because of a fire that broke out in a garment factory in New York in March 1911 and killed more than 100 women workers. Prevent them from going out and taking breaks or even rioting during their work shifts,” he says.
“The tragedy caused a lot of uproar and became a symbol of the fight for labor rights for women,” he adds.
Gabriela reports that the date went down in history for another reason: “Also in March, this time on the 8th, 1917, women in Saint Petersburg, Russia, took to the streets, protesting for better living conditions and asking for Russia’s exit from the First World War. The labor movement joined this mobilization and from there the Russian Revolution began, putting an end to a more than 300year monarchy in the country”.
The communicator also emphasizes the importance of treating Women’s Day with more respect and not just as a commercial date.
“Instead of flowers, gifts, compliments and perceived accolades full of clichés, the best thing to do on this date is think about how you can help make the world less sexist,” he advised.
