On this day, women rushed into the city hall, broke into the office, and sat on the desk to show that women took over the regime. August is the “Wife Festival” in Hamburg. During the festival, the art groups organized by women perform in various theaters in the city. The content of the program is mostly gender equality.
Greece
Women and husband exchange roles
Greece is the origin of Mother's Day. In the Macedonia and Thrace regions of northern Greece, on January 8 each year, married women exchange roles with their husbands. On this day, men must stay at home, look after children, wash and cook, clean the room, and be sure to wear an apron. Women go to the streets, do things that only men do, usually go to the town center pub to drink, play cards and so on. In recent years, there has also been a new law on Mother's Day. People ride bicycles on the streets of the Greek capital Athens to celebrate Mother's Day.
Switzerland
Women's Power Day
Every January 1st to 4th is the “Women’s Power Day”. In these four days, all the powers of the family are under the control of women, and men are willing to obey the show to show respect for women.
United States
Blessing mother with peace
In the United States, the earliest record of Mother's Day was proposed by Julia Wald Hoo in 1872, and she suggested that this day be dedicated to "peace."
In 1907, Mrs. Chavez’s daughter, Anna, was active in the formation of a national Mother’s Day. She persuaded her mother's church in West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death and the second Sunday in May. President Wilson issued an official statement in 1914 to make Mother's Day a national holiday.
