Ready to celebrate the women in your life? March 8th is Women’s Day, an international holiday celebrating the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women. This year’s theme is DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality. Bringing women and other marginalized groups into technology results in more creative solutions and has greater potential for innovations that meet women’s needs and promote gender equality.
Wondering how you can celebrate Women's Day… here are a few ideas:
With Flowers! It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman to join in on the celebration - it is completely acceptable for a man to give flowers to the women in his life, as well as women to share flowers with their friends, family, and co-workers.
Learn why the day is important. As women's accomplishments, particularly those that have to do with the home (raising children, educating, cleaning, cooking, etc.) are often taken for granted. This day helps to remind people of the important things that women do every day.
Help raise awareness. Mention that it's Women's Day to people you know, your family, your coworkers, your friends. Discuss with them why it's an important day and why it's important to treat women with respect and to acknowledge their contributions to society.
