Who runs the world?

Women!🙋🏻
Every year on March 8th, the world comes together to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD), a global day.

🌸WHY IS WOMEN’S DAY CELEBRATED?

International Women's Day is more than just a date. It is a global holiday that highlights the acts of courage made by women throughout history. From the right to vote to gender equality, it focuses on the economic, cultural, political, and social shifts women strive for and the issues they still face every day.💜

Celebrating IWD encourages us to reflect on how far we have come and how far we still have to go. It is a reminder that gender equality is not only a women’s issue but a societal one that affects all of us. 

History has come a long way from the time when women couldn't vote, access education, or even be considered citizens. So, on International Women's Day 2024, we unite to cherish all the self-sufficient and brave women who fought for equality so others can enjoy the same opportunities.🌟

🌸WHERE IS WOMEN’S DAY CELEBRATED? 🌍

International Women's Day is recognized as an official holiday in over 20 countries, including Afghanistan, Angola, Cuba, China, France and  Laos. While in some other places like Australia, the United States, and Chile it doesn't hold this official status, it is still a widely recognized celebration.

This means that International Women's Day 2024 is the perfect opportunity for your business or brand to take part in the celebration. For instance, you can hold special events, partner with non-profit organizations, or promote initiatives to advocate for women's rights.
