In Italy Women's Day is celebrated on March 8th. On that occasion men give branches of yellow mimosas to their wives, friends, co-workers, sisters. This gift is a symbol of gratitude and love, along with female solidarity.
Anyway in Italy women's condition has not changed in some way compared to the past.
Actually inside families women are still who have to work more: they take care of children, do housework, have a job.
There is a lot to do to improve this situation, even though we have already noticed some change in young men's attitude to family.

One successful activity was when my pupils were tasked to paint their mothers' portraits. Their mothers were then invited to come to school and guess which one of the paintings was painted by their child.

Women in Bulgaria are European women who live in and are from Bulgaria. Women's position in Bulgarian society has been influenced by a variety of cultures and ideologies, including the Byzantine and Ottoman cultures, Eastern Orthodox Christianity, communist ideology, and contemporary globalized Western values.
Bulgarian women live in a society that is customarily patriarchal. While Bulgaria is often described as a patriarchal society, women may have substantial authority in household budgeting or agricultural decision making. Both men and women have the right to vote and own property. Despite decades of socialist ideology of gender equality, women are often employed in lower paying jobs, remain responsible for most household chores, and represent more than half the registered unemployed. They also occupy leadership positions less frequently than men.
Limited women's suffrage was first granted in 1919.
Many women entered paid employment during the socialist era, when an ideology of gender equality was promoted, and they made up nearly half the workforce in the late twentieth century. Women are frequently employed as teachers, nurses, pharmacists, sales clerks, and laborers, and less often involved in management, administration, and technical sciences. Women are also largely responsible for household tasks—child care, cooking, cleaning, and shopping.

Even though Greece is the birthplace of Democracy, women in Greece did not have the right to vote (until 1952).Traditionaly there has been the belif that the role of the woman is to stay at home, to take care of family and raise the children.Women could not even work public jobs.The constitution of Greece in 1844 that "All Greeks are equal before the Law" was about the men and not the women.Another problem which many women had in the past was the dowry. Women had to have the appropriate dowry to get married, (a house, money, etc) , Today, women do not need a dowry to get married since they can work ,care of her family, can vote and be members of the Greek parliament.

Though there are several famous women who have made an impact in Greece's history, it is usually men who are typically celebrated. Women have been traditionally valued for their ability to bear and raise children and take care of their homes and families. Outside the home, however, women have struggled to obtain their rights and freedoms. Here is an overview of the struggles women have had to face in Modern Greece and how they've overcome them.

Greek Women Earn the Right to Vote

Even though Greece is the birthplace of democracy, it wasn't until 1952 that women were allowed to vote. They also made them eligible to hold public office once they achieved their voting rights. Even though the First Greek Constitution, which came about in 1844, stated that "Greeks are equal before the law", this didn't fully apply to women until they were allowed the right to vote.

Abolishment of the Dowry

Legally speaking, the dowry is a portion of the parent's property that is transferred to the new husband upon marriage. This custom, which existed in Greece since ancient times, often helped the girl secure a worthwhile mate. The dowry had been out of practice in mainstream culture for some time. However, it wasn't until 1983 that it was legally abolished.

Role of Women in the Home

Greek women still struggle with gender roles inside their homes. Gender roles, which dictate that women take care of the home and men work outside of the home, are still considered the standard. However, there is no legal basis for this and the expectation is mainly a traditional one. Many women work outside of the home and men have been playing an increased role with domestic duties such as cooking and cleaning.

Women in the Workforce

Though there are no legal barriers concerning employment options outside of the home, Greek women still don't make up a large percentage of the work force. Though the population in Greece is split evenly between women and men, women only make up around 30% of the work force, according to data compiled by Unicef. The rural areas of Greece are largely responsible for this lopsided statistic because, for the most part, women adhere to their traditional, domestic roles.

Women Holding Public Office

Yes, women have been able to hold public office since 1952 when they gained the right to vote. However, politics is still a male dominated pursuit. There are many theories as to why this could be the case. One of the biggest is that many still celebrate the traditional, domesticated role of women. However, the situation is improving. In 2014, about 20% of the people in parliament were women.

It is the traditionally held belief in Greece that women would take care of the home and men would work outside of the home. This view also translates to politics where even today, most of the politicians are men. However, there will always be people whose mission it is to improve the rights of women in Greece.
