Tolo News: The International Women’s Day was celebrated Tuesday in Afghanistan where only few weeks ago, a 20-year-old woman had her nose cut off by her husband in northwestern Faryab province. Afghans in Kabul and other parts of the country celebrated the day with holding rallies in support of women, donating blood, planting saplings and attending gatherings held to say “no to violence against women.” Click here for more information (external link).
Regarding Women’s day –
Woman’s Day: A great day in its pure sense.
I think though, it would be a much more naturally enjoyable day for everybody if it is celebrated along with the Man’s Day in one package. The true sense gets lost when sincerity is compromised. Most often, it is politically meant to serve an unrelated cause –compare Valentine’s day and commercially promoted love songs. The reality shows up only if we really listen to resolve the confusions in the core of ambiguities and then try to make it better for all.
Saddee, the 13th century classical Fahrsi-Speaking and writing poet, put this eternal issue of the humanity, artistically and objectively, in a more clear perspective metaphorically.

BANI ADAM ‘The Descendants of Adam’ (i.e. God-created first man, who embodied original “virtuous” character).
بنى آدم اعضای یک پیکرن
The descendants of “Adam” are like parts in one “human” body.
که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند
They were all created as one pristine jewel (refined morally).
چو عضوى به درد آورد روزگار
It is like if a human body part suffers in pain.
دگر عضوها را نماند قر
It won’t leave the other parts unaffected.
تو کeز محنت دیگران بی غم
If you don’t feel empathy with others’ sorrows.
نشایدs که نامت نهند آدمی
Then, you won’t be called an “ADAM” (a human with God-given noble character).
