    “Breaking the bias”, yes this was the theme for Women’s day this year, but do you

    know
    that breaking the bias movement started way back in 1917 during World War 1 when
    thousands of women in Russia gathered to underscore the need for global compassion and
    peace and to condemn the mindless deaths of millions of soldiers in the ongoing war, and in
    four days bring the Czar (Russian ruler) down while winning the right to vote. The date was
    February 23 on the Julian calendar used by Russia. On the Gregorian calendar, more
    commonly followed everywhere else, that historic day was March 8!
