International Women’s Day
In March, purple, green, and white are colors that are most closely associated with spring flowers and festivities, rather than the celebration of women. These three colors have deep historical roots and represent the women who have brought us to today during our yesterday. Women worldwide have fought for liberation. These colors, cemented in England’s political past represent the feat of women. Each year we celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th, a day of remembrance and rallying. The theme for International Women’s Day may vary each year, focusing on different aspects of women’s rights and empowerment.
It is an opportunity to reflect on progress made by women. It also is a chance to call for change. It is very important to acknowledge the challenges that women around the world have faced and continued to face. Many organizations, governments, and individuals use this day to advocate for gender equality and to inspire positive action.
March is also the month for women. Why celebrate women? It allows for a reflection on the historical struggles and accomplishments of women and to celebrate the success of women worldwide. In our generational shift, the younger generation is vocal about social justice and gender equality, pushing for change. It’s most important now to push social issues to light. Women’s Month fosters a sense of community among women, providing a space for networking, collaboration, and support.
Get the women in your life flowers. Get yourself flowers. Be certain to celebrate the important women in your life and to celebrate yourself. Whether it’s to a meal or a self care day, it is vital to treat yourself. Take time to appreciate how women have brought us to our today, and ponder how we can help bring other women to a better tomorrow.
