International Women's Day: celebrate, relax and reflect on this special day!
Why do we celebrate International Women's Day on 8 March?
International Women's Day is celebrated worldwide on 8 March and focuses on the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day originated at the beginning of the twentieth century as a protest movement for women's rights, including the right to vote and equal opportunities in the labour market. It has since grown into a day of awareness, solidarity and above all celebrating being a woman!
‘Here's to Strong Women. May We Know Them. May We Be Them. May We Raise Them.’
How do you celebrate International Women's Day?
International Women's Day is not only about raising awareness, but also about putting yourself and other women in the spotlight. This can be done in various ways: from relaxation and self-care to spending time with friends or family. Below you will find some ideas to make this day extra special.
The history of International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day on March 8 has its roots in the early 20th century when women worldwide began advocating for equal rights, voting rights, and better working conditions. In 1908, thousands of women protested in New York against workplace inequality, leading to the first official Women’s Day in 1909. The idea quickly spread, and in 1910, an international women’s conference decided to establish an annual day dedicated to women’s rights. The choice of March 8 was reinforced by Russian women’s protests in 1917, which led to major political reforms. Today, Women’s Day is a global moment for awareness, solidarity, and the celebration of women’s strength and achievements.
