March 8th marks the date to celebrate women. International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
I needed to do some digging to see what information I could share with you and I thought these three questions were a good start to help you learn more. You can find more information if you visit www.internationalwomensday.com
But before I share a bit more about this day, I want you to think about one woman that deserves celebration. Who comes to mind? Is it your mother, wife, friend, sister, grandmother? Seeing as this year’s theme is challenging people to make a change, I then challenge you to find one woman that you can celebrate in your life on March 8th. Send flowers, drop a coffee, show that special someone how much you value their worth. Okay so here are a few important questions to help you learn more:
What’s the theme for International Women’s Day?
The campaign theme for International Women’s Day is “Choose to Challenge”. A challenged world is an alert world. And from challenge comes change.
What’s the history of International Women’s Day?
International Women’s Day has occurred for well over a hundred years with the first gathering held in 1911.
What colours symbolize International Women’s Day?
Purple, green and white are the colours of International Women’s Day. Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolizes hope. White represents purity, albeit a controversial concept. The colours originated from the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the UK in 1908.
