Daily Holidays - March 8

National Peanut Cluster Day

As winter winds down and spring is about to burst forth, there’s no better time of year to celebrate this sweet cluster of peanutty goodness.

Why do peanut clusters get their own holiday? Well, I’d have to say it’s because so many people love crunching on the good taste of peanuts. Most foods in America have their own day set aside for celebration and sometimes we don’t need much more of a reason to celebrate, do we?

So what is a peanut cluster? It’s nothing more than a crunchy bundle of peanuts held together by melted chocolate. http://nationalpeanutboard.org/recipes/celebrate-national-peanut-cluster-day/

International Women's Day In 2015, International Women’s Day, celebrated globally on 8 March, will highlight the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a historic roadmap signed by 189 governments 20 years ago that sets the agenda for realizing women’s rights. While there have been many achievements since then, many serious gaps remain.
This is the time to uphold women’s achievements, recognize challenges, and focus greater attention on women’s rights and gender equality to mobilize all people to do their part. The Beijing Platform for Action focuses on 12 critical areas of concern, and envisions a world where each woman and girl can exercise her choices, such as participating in politics, getting an education, having an income, and living in societies free from violence and discrimination.
To this end, the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is the clarion call of UN Women’s Beijing+20 campaign “Empowering Women, Empowering Humanity: Picture it!” Join governments and activists across the world in commemorating the ground-breaking Conference of 1995. We celebrate the many achievements that have come since then and galvanize action to address the gaps that still remain in making gender equality a reality.
