Funny Holidays - Single Working Women's Day

In the calendar of unofficial holidays, August 4th is Single Working Women's Day It is celebrated by those who want to get rid of the stereotypes that have developed in society regarding single representatives of the fair sex Despite the fact that some underestimate their role in many fields of activity, the contribution of women to the economy and social structure cannot be overestimated The appearance of this holiday occurred thanks to Barbara Payne in 2006 She created a special network and tried to show how important the work of single working women is Increasing public awareness of this has helped to remove the stigma that was often attached to them Now this holiday is celebrated annually in many countries, where it is important to focus on the fact that every woman has the right to personal choice of her lifestyle Despite the fact that such women go through their life alone, they often face problems, which are often associated with the fact that many religious policies do not recognize gender equality In the workplace, single employees often face misunderstandings from colleagues and prejudiced attitudes towards themselves Nowadays, female labor is found everywhere, and at the same time, each of the fair sex, regardless of her marital status, has certain talents and abilities that she tries to realize Many women do not need to enter into a marriage and be a homemaker in order to prove their worth and importance to society Among successful and wealthy people, a large percentage are business women of different ages Undoubtedly, many single women bring great benefit to society and deserve respect, as do caring wives and loving mothers They often contribute and achieve success at work on an equal basis with men Another purpose of this unofficial holiday is to eliminate singleism as much as possible, which implies the stigmatization of single people This term has not yet been included in official dictionaries, but it is often used in social psychology It was first mentioned in her book in 2006 by Professor Bella DePaulo, who for many years has been studying discrimination against people who do not marry for a long time
