Fierce Females: How To Celebrate International Women’s Day 2021

Who run the world? GIRLS! A day for celebrating strong women everywhere, International Women’s Day serves as a global reminder to celebrate the economic, social, political and cultural achievements of women around the world. With the first International Womens’ Day celebration taking place in 1908, International Women’s Day has been raising awareness about women’s equality for over a century and also highlights female-focused charities with fundraising aid. In 1908, women had begun calling for greater equality and less oppressive working conditions, demanding shorter working hours, better pay and voting rights. So, over a century later, why are we still campaigning for these things today?

With this year's International Women’s Day theme being #ChoosetoChallenge, it calls on us, as women, to think about our own thoughts and actions and how we can celebrate women's achievements and campaign for gender equality. Because the future is female. Days like today are so important to keep the conversation going and highlight just how important it is to empower women across the globe.
