World Calendar Day

Dia de la Mujer

National holiday since 2024. The marches through Santiago are among the largest in Latin America, filling the Alameda from La Moneda to Baquedano with green scarves and fierce conviction. Chilean feminism has its own voice and it does not ask permission.

Ruz el Zanan

National holiday. Algerian women fought in the revolution, planted bombs in the Casbah, carried weapons under their veils, and were tortured for it. They built the universities after independence, kept the families together through the dark years of the 1990s, and still managed the household budget with mathematics no economist could replicate. Today honors all of it: the visible and the invisible, the battlefield and the kitchen, the degree and the sacrifice. The women of the Casbah who hid FLN fighters, the women of the Hirak who marched alongside men, the women of the reguia who keep the stories alive. Zanan means women in Tamazight, and this day belongs to them.
