LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION recognizing March 8, 2011, as International
Women's Day in the State of New York

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to acknowledge and
celebrate the women who have added strength, kindness, compassion and
inspiration to the people of the communities that make up this great
Empire State; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to recognize
Tuesday, March 8, 2011, as International Women's Day in the State of New
York; and
WHEREAS, March 8th of every year marks International Women's Day; it
is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and
social achievements of women; and
WHEREAS, Started as a political event, the holiday blended in the
culture of many countries; in some celebrations, the day lost its poli-
tical flavor, and became simply an occasion for men to express their
love to the women in their lives; and
WHEREAS, However, in other nations, the political and human rights
theme as designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and
social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and
examined in a hopeful manner; and
WHEREAS, Women of every economic, ethnic and religious background have
made significant contributions that are reflected in our cultural,
social, educational, industrial and economic diversity, and have
contributed in many ways; and
WHEREAS, New York State is home to countless women who are strong and
vibrant individuals, and who have and continue to contribute to the
advancement of our culture through their traditional and non-traditional
roles in society; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
recognize March 8, 2011, as International Women's Day in the State of
New York.
