International Women’s Day is an originally socialist movement that is marked on March 8th in annual calendars. The interesting aspect about this day is the way the method of celebration has changed throughout the years and in different parts of the world.
It was originally called International Working Women’s Day and was celebrated as an empowering political and social movement. Arguable counter-productively, it is currently being celebrated similarly to Valentine’s Day where where men show their love and affection to women and shower them with gifts.
United Kingdom is the only region of the world that still takes the political aspect of this day seriously and takes action accordingly. Here are some empowering ideas that might inspire you join in on the activism and help make the world remember that women are free beings.
