Berlin Celebrates International Women's Day With A New Holiday

BERLIN, GERMANY - MARCH 08: A soldier of the Bundeswehr hands out a carnation to a passerby in front of the Landmark Brandenburg Tor on International Women's Day on March 8, 2019 in Berlin, Germany. Berlin has, for the first time, introduced a city-wide holiday to celebrate International Women's Day. Holidays in Germany are determined mostly by the states and Berliners have long complained that they've been historically short-changed, with up to three days fewer holidays throughout the year than in other parts of Germany.
