How to Celebrate Women’s History Month This March
It’s Women’s History Month, and International Women’s Day is arriving shortly. The women and girls in your life are worthy of being recognized, so for this March, here are 5 ways to celebrate Women’s History Month.
Educate yourself on the issues women face today.
Although significant progress has been made as it relates to the female experience, women and girls still face major obstacles because they are female. Women still deal with earning significantly less than men for doing the same job. We deal with underrepresentation across multiple spaces, including politics and the corporate world. Women are also losing the choice to make decisions about their bodies and face little protection from society as it relates to sexual violence. Therefore, it is important to educate yourself on these issues so you can work to promote positive change.
Support women-owned businesses.
Women-owned businesses are an important staple in society, and supporting them doesn’t always mean spending money. You can support your favorite women-owned business by engaging with their content on social media and leaving a positive review about the products or services you have tried. You can also amplify brand awareness by sharing your experience with their brand on social media or via word of mouth. These actions may seem small, but they ultimately contribute to the success of women-owned businesses while adding no financial strain to you.
Create a gift basket of all her favorite things.
Nothing says appreciation like a gift with all your most-loved goodies. Gift the deserving women in your life with all their favorites in a gift basket. You can choose to add their favorite snacks and candies, books that they may like, and even handmade gifts. Including a bouquet of their favorite flowers and a handwritten card will also add a personal touch to the basket.
Host an event honoring women on International Women’s Day.
Women deserve to be celebrated for all that we are and have accomplished. So, for this International Women’s Day, host an event in honor of the women in your life. Gather their favorite foods, decorate with their favorite colors, and get ready to party! Based on the kind of party, you can choose to have the special women in your life dress up in their best outfits, wear their special pajamas, or put on their favorite costumes to celebrate a night dedicated to them.
Donate to causes that support women and girls.
There are a multitude of nonprofit organizations that work to empower and assist women and girls around the world. These organizations are always accepting donations and volunteers, so do your part to discover the organizations that resonate with you the most and show them some support this March. The women and girls you help will greatly appreciate it.
We hope you spend this Women’s History Month showering the women in your life with all the love and appreciation they fully deserve.
