International Day of Rural Women
October 15, 2014 in the World

The United Nations’ (UN) International Day of Rural Women celebrates and honors the role of rural women on October 15 each year. The first International Day of Rural Women was observed on October 15, 2008. This day recognizes the role of rural women, including indigenous women, in enhancing agricultural and rural development, improving food security and eradicating rural poverty.

The idea of honoring rural women with a special day was put forward at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China, in 1995. It was suggested that October 15 be celebrated as “World Rural Women’s Day,” which is the eve of World Food Day, to highlight rural women’s role in food production and food security. “World Rural Women’s Day” was previously celebrated across the world for more than a decade before it was officially a UN observance.

Take Your Parents To Lunch Day
October 15, 2014 in the USA

Once you reach a certain age, doing anything with your parents seems instantly uncool, and the last thing you want to do is go out for lunch with them, especially at school. Well, that is all about to change. Take Your Parents To Lunch Day is a real, national holiday and is becoming increasingly popular and widely celebrated by kids and schools everywhere year after year. The purpose of it is not so much for parents to have an enjoyable lunch at the school canteen, but rather to give them a rare chance to get a real look at what is going on in the school kitchen and an insight into what their children are eating when out of their hands every day. That’s why Take Your Parents To Lunch Day is so great and should be encouraged. It’s a way for them to give their opinions and help improve the system and make the food options as healthy as possible.
