March 8th is International Women's Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day).

Mother’s Day is different from country to country (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day)

Apparently, according to wikipedia, we have a "mother's day" in the first sunday in may. I've seen nothing in the news about it and wasn't aware of its existence.

8 March was an entirely different animal...
