International Women's Day

Well over a hundred years old and yet still going strong: International Women's Day on March 8 is as relevant today as it was in 1911.

Even though many of the demands made back then appear to have been met today, there is still much to be done. Living a self-determined, equal, and violence-free life, no longer being disadvantaged, having a say in politics and society, receiving equal pay for equal work, not doing the lion's share of poorly paid or unpaid work—even today, this is not a matter of course for many women. Then as now, women have rights!

In recent years, the city of Mainz has used floor decals placed at the entrances to the Stadthaus to draw attention to International Women's Day on March 8.
